Tender salmon, covered in a salty, flavorful Parmesan crust – what’s not to love? A regular on any seafood restaurant’s menu, it’s surprisingly simple to make at home.
Salmon
The first, essential step is of course, to select a great salmon fillet. There are a number of different varieties of salmon, but there are a couple of general rules you can bear in mind when selecting your fillet.
- Check that it’s not a dry cut, but that there’s clear moisture to the fillet.
- Look for a bright color, be it red or orange, make sure that there’s no discoloration happening.
- White ribbons of fat serve as a hint that you’re looking at a really soft, tender salmon fillet. Choose this one.
Parmesan Crusted Salmon
The secret to delicious Parmesan Crusted Salmon is not too different from what makes most other dishes delicious – Olive oil! Although only a few tablespoons are required, the quality of the olive oil determines the quality of the dish.
HOW LONG TO BAKE SALMON
Baking times vary, but you will know that the salmon is ready to serve when it comes apart with ease at the touch of a fork. Parmesan Crusted Salmon is delicious with a variety of sides. Why not try it with buttery asparagus or a fresh, crisp baby spinach salad? Creamed spinach is a great wintry side, paired with crushed baby potatoes and a full bodied red wine. Get creative and enjoy!
