Parmesan Crusted Salmon


Here's a deliciously simple recipe for salmon.
 Using chopped rather than grated Parmesan ensures a satisfying crunchy coating.
The dill sauce is optional
  • about 2 pounds salmon filet
  • 1 tablespoon soft butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped (not grated) Parmesan cheese
  1. Preheat oven to 325º F.
  2. If using dill sauce, prepare that first and set in refrigerator to blend flavours.
  3. Place salmon, skin side down, on a parchment or foil covered pan.
  4. Place a piece of parchment paper loosely over salmon and bake for about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, combine parsley, dill and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
  6. When the 10 minutes is up, remove salmon from oven.
  7. Spread the soft butter over the salmon and pat on the herb/cheese mixture.
  8. Place back in oven and bake uncovered until fish flakes with a fork. This will not be long.
  9. If you like you can brown the salmon under the broiler for a minute or so but watch it closely!!
  10. Remove salmon to serving platter, leaving the skin on the baking pan.
Dill sauce (optional):
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise 
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey
  • a bit of lemon zest 
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh dill
  1. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until serving time.
