  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 lb Salmon fillets
  • 2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 medium Lemon (cut into 1/4-inch slices)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Mayo Mixture

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (or lemon garlic aioli for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aioli (Optional): If using, make the lemon garlic aioli according to your recipe or preferred method, otherwise use mayonnaise as is for the topping.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure a perfectly baked salmon with a slight crisp on top.
  3. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper for enhanced flavor.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the salmon skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil to make cleaning easier.
  5. Apply Mayo or Aioli: Spread an even layer of mayonnaise or lemon garlic aioli over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Add Parmesan and Lemon: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mayo-covered salmon, then top with thin lemon slices to add brightness during baking.
  7. Bake the Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Garnish and Serve: After baking, sprinkle fresh parsley over the salmon if desired, then serve hot for a flavorful, simple meal.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, substitute mayonnaise with homemade lemon garlic aioli.
  • Adjust baking time according to the thickness of the salmon to avoid overcooking.
  • Lining the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper helps in easier cleanup.
  • Fresh parsley garnish is optional but adds a nice color contrast and fresh taste.
  • Use wild-caught salmon for better flavor and nutritional benefits.
