Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped almonds
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs optional for extra crunch
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1 tsp dried
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Place fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet.
  3. Mix Parmesan, almonds, breadcrumbs (if using), and parsley in a bowl.
  4. In another bowl, stir melted butter and Dijon mustard together.
  5. Brush the top of each fillet with the mustard mixture.
  6. Press the cheese-almond mix onto each fillet, covering the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
