Main ingredients
  • 4 fillets salmon fillets Pat dry before adding the crust
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Use fresh grated for best flavor

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Press the Parmesan mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet to create a crust.
