Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on and deboned; 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese; 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs; 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped; 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped; 1 teaspoon lemon zest; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 1 tablespoon mayonnaise; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Prepare the salmon

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the Parmesan crust mixture

In a medium bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
Create the binding mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
Assemble the salmon

Spread the mustard-mayo mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, then generously pack the Parmesan mixture on top, pressing gently to adhere. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake to perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C) and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Rest and serve

Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
