This Baked Parmesan Crusted Salmon is a stunning show stopper thats very easy to make.
The parmesan crust is insanely delicious and the Lemon Cream Sauce for the salmon is the essential finishing touch.
Plus it’s possible for you to prepare everything ahead- even the sauce!

Food that tastes like a million dollars and yet is simple to make and made with every day ingredients.
That is the absolute essence of the food I love and share here on RecipeTin Eats.
This Parmesan Crusted Salmon is pretty much me on a plate.
Well, on a platter.
Because the best sort of food is food that is shared with family and friends!
Every year, I do a Thanksgiving and Christmas menu (see below recipe for list with links).
And insanely delicious of course.
Taste first and foremost!
c’mon dont skip the sauce!
I know many people make similar recipes without a sauce.
Dont get me wrong, the flavour of plain salmon is lovely.
But the sauce just puts this over the top from tasty to exceptional.
Plus, look how the sauce clings onto that crunchy parmesan topping.Swoon….
It starts with a very simple panko and parmesan topping.
With one little trick.
is to lightly toast the breadcrumbs on a baking tray.
Psst This is much easier, less effort and more even browning than toasting in a skillet.
Plus less cleaning up because I use the same tray for the salmon.
My next trick getting that beautiful parmesan topping to stick to the salmon.
Easy fix just spread Dijon mustard on the salmon like youre buttering toast.
Bake it for 20 minutes in a fairly hot oven and this is what you get…..
So beautiful and tastes incredible, especially served with a simple Lemon Cream sauce.
Yes the sauce has cream in it but I promise it doesnt make this too rich!
In fact, thats a specific point my taste testers made.
You hear the word cream sauce and assume it is very rich.
But actually, this sauce is quite tangy from the lemon.
It adds moisture to this dish as well as the zing cutting through the richness of the salmon.
And before I forget yes I put my Christmas Menu up for critique by taste testers!
This Baked Parmesan Crusted Salmon received high praise.
