15 Minute Parmesan Crusted Salmon

Serving Size

2

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin-on
  • 1 egg
  • ½ lemon, juiced (about 1 tbsp)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Preheat the oven: Set to 400°F (or preheat the air fryer if using). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Prepare the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Coat the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the egg wash generously over the top of each fillet.
  • Add the parmesan crust: Sprinkle a generous amount of grated parmesan cheese over the top of the fillets, ensuring an even coating.
  • Bake and broil: Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes. Increase the temperature to 450°F (or broil) for another 3-4 minutes to crisp up the parmesan topping.
  • Serve & enjoy: Pair with a vegetable and a carbohydrate of choice, such as roasted asparagus and quinoa, or sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes.

Notes

Skinless Salmon: If using skinless fillets, coat both sides with the egg wash and parmesan before baking. Cooking Method Variations: This can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, followed by a 1-2 minute broil to crisp up the top. Lemon Boost: For extra citrus flavor, serve with lemon wedges or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving. Make it a meal: Pair this salmon with rice or quinoa with broccoli, asparagus, or your favorite veggies.
