Baked Salmon with Parmesan Herb Crust
Feb 24, 2024 03:16 PM
This Baked Salmon recipe is tender, full of flavor and topped with a Parmesan herb crust! A little lemon juice, a bit of butter, fresh garlic and herbs, and a delicious crunchy Panko crust create an oven baked salmon recipe that is as delicious as it is stunning!
This has to be my favorite baked salmon recipe. It’s simple, but really packs a ton of flavor using fresh herbs like thyme, chives and parsley. The minced garlic and fresh lemon juice combine for a tart and savory combination, and of course the buttery breadcrumbs seal everything in adding a crunchy coating to an amazingly moist salmon.
Simply coat and bake for an easy and light dinner. Swap out the herbs for different combinations each time or keep the tried and true flavors. Leftovers stay fresh for 3 days so you can easily use this recipe as a meal prep lunch for the week as well!
