A quick and easy crispy baked salmon with a garlic parmesan crust, brightened with fresh lemon and dill. Perfect for busy weeknights or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped dill, and lemon zest. Stir well.
  4. Add olive oil and melted butter to the breadcrumb mixture and stir until moistened and crumbly. Add more olive oil if too dry.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Press the crust mixture firmly on top of each fillet.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy and the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salmon.
  8. Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy crust. Use panko breadcrumbs for best crunch. If crust browns too fast, tent with foil. For gluten-free, substitute panko with almond flour. For dairy-free, omit parmesan and butter and use nutritional yeast with olive oil. Reheat leftovers gently in oven to maintain crust crispness.
