Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 fillets salmon fillets

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.
  5. In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
  6. Sprinkle this mixture over the mayo-covered fillets.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
  2. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or with rice or quinoa.

Notes

For extra crunch, try adding crushed nuts to the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure salmon fillets are of even thickness for consistent cooking. Adjust seasoning to taste by adding herbs like dill or thyme. You can change the topping by using different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella, or add crushed red pepper flakes for heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
