Main Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Season the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Add Garlic and Parmesan Topping: Mince the garlic cloves finely. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets, then sprinkle the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese on top of each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet or in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to maintain its moisture and tenderness.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
- Garlic can be adjusted based on personal preference for pungency.
