Description

Crispy Parmesan Crusted Baked Salmon features tender, flaky salmon fillets topped with a golden, crunchy coating of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and garlic. This easy baked salmon recipe makes a flavorful and satisfying dinner for the whole family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (7 oz) skinless salmon fillets
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup finely shredded parmesan
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, finely shredded Parmesan, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the olive oil and mix until evenly combined.
  4. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth.
  5. Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten egg, allowing excess egg to drip off.
  6. Press the salmon into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, coating the exposed surfaces evenly.
  7. Arrange the coated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  8. Bake until the breadcrumb topping is golden and crispy and the salmon is cooked through. Check the thickest part with an instant-read thermometer; fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
  9. Remove from the oven, allow the salmon to rest briefly, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pat the salmon dry before coating to help the egg and breadcrumb mixture adhere.
  • Use finely shredded Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs for an even, crunchy topping.
  • Serve shortly after baking for the best crispy texture.
