    Freshly grated parmesan cheese

    Panko breadcrumbs: sub for regular or golden breadcrumbs

    Paprika

    Dried parsley: sub for fresh parsley

    How to make parmesan crusted salmon

    Preheat the oven to 200C/400F

    To a small mixing bowl, add freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, parsley, dill, salt and pepper, melted butter, and mix to combine. You will get a crumb-like texture.

    Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, place the salmon on it, skin side down. Pat dry with a kitchen towel/paper.

    Brush some oil on top of the salmon then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the fish. Gently press into the fish.

    Bake in the oven for 12 to 18 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.  The internal temperature of cooked fish should register 145F/62F when tested with an instant-read thermometer.

    Tips

    • Bring the fish out about 15 minutes before cooking so it comes to room temperature. This will enable even cooking.
    • Use skinless salmon, ensure to spray the aluminium foil so that the fish does not stick on it.
    • Use leftover fish to bulk up salad for lunch

    To freeze: this fish can be frozen but do so after you add the seasoned breading to the fish. Frozen salmon can be cooked from frozen, you do not need to let it thaw first.
