How to Make Parmesan Encrusted Salmon Fillet

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Place the salmon fillet (6-8 oz) on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Season the salmon fillet generously with the herb mixture.
  6. Grate 1/2 cup of fresh Parmesan cheese directly onto the salmon, creating a thick, even layer.
  7. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the parmesan is golden brown and crispy. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillet; check for doneness with a fork.
  8. Let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
