Ingredients

Scale

4 (7 oz) skinless salmon fillets
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup finely shredded parmesan
2 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
3/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large egg

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with the olive oil until well combined.
In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs, shredded parmesan, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then press the top side of the salmon firmly into the panko-parmesan mixture to create a thick crust.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, crust-side up.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Use gluten-free panko bread crumbs for a gluten-free version. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat. Ensure salmon fillets are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
