Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs salmon fillet
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the top of the salmon fillet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your salmon.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For thicker salmon fillets, you may need to increase the baking time slightly.
Consider serving with roasted asparagus or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
