Baked Parmesan Garlic Herb Salmon (Print)
Flaky salmon baked with parmesan, garlic, and herbs in foil for a quick, flavorful dinner option.
# Ingredients:
01 -
680 g skin-on salmon fillet
02 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 -
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
04 -
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
05 -
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
06 -
50 g parmesan cheese, finely grated
07 -
0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
08 -
0.5 teaspoon sea salt
09 -
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
10 -
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Arrange a large sheet of foil on a baking tray, ensuring enough overhang to fold around the salmon.
02 -
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine softened butter, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley until a cohesive mixture is formed.
03 -
Place salmon fillet skin-side down on the foil. Fold foil edges upward, shaping a shallow vessel, but leave the top exposed. Evenly spread the herb-parmesan mixture over the surface of the salmon.
04 -
Transfer baking tray to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until salmon is just firm and flakes gently with a fork.
05 -
Switch oven to broil setting and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to achieve a golden, lightly crisped top.
06 -
Remove from oven and let rest briefly. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a sprinkle of extra parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure salmon is at room temperature before baking for even cooking.
