Easy Garlic Parmesan Crusted Salmon

4

This quick and easy garlic parmesan crusted salmon is packed with flavor, and has the most delicious contrast of textures. It’s also as easy as it gets. Just mix up the topping, spread it over the fish, and put it in the oven.

Wild salmon is a weeknight winner at my house. It cooks in a flash, it’s loaded with healthy fats and protein, and everyone enjoys it. If you can find a whole side of salmon, that makes the most dramatic presentation. But smaller fillets work just as well, too. Just adjust the cooking time as needed, removing it from the oven as soon as the thickest part of the fish starts to feel firm.
