This salmon recipe is my husband’s favorite out of all the ones I cook. It is created with Parmesan cheese and panko, or Japanese bread crumbs, which are highly airy and crunchy. The panko is cooked in the oven until nicely toasted.

Reviews
The salmon turned out great, I did not have any fresh lemon so I substituted orange juice.
Topping had good flavor however came out much too dry. Will coat salmon with olive oil next time.
Spouse: “this may be the best salmon I’ve ever had.” I baked on parchment paper on the baking sheet. The skin sticks to the paper, so when I used a spatula after baking, the filets came of the skin very easily (as my ‘customers’ prefer their salmon without skin).
This is the only way I fix salmon now! So quick and easy and it tastes awesome plus it is good cold as well! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
Awesome! Used pork rinds instead for keto.
Very simple and excellent results. I think it worth using some fresh lemon juice as opposed to stuff out a bottle just gives it that little bit more of a hit.
Followed the recipe exactly. Excellent and so easy to make. Definitely will be on our go to list.
Per other reviewers’ suggestion, I spread some mayo on the top of the filet before adding the panko mixture. I don’t think I added quite enough – because it was still a little dry. Great flavor, though! Will likely make again.
Big Hit !!! Stuck to the recipe ! No deviations whatsoever.
I had to replace almond meal for the panko to make it gluten free. I also made it with white fish. It was good, but I’m sure it would have been better with panko!
Really good. I followed some of the earlier reviewers and also added mayo. I roasted some asparagus with olive oil and parmesan along with the salmon. A good any healthy meal.
This is one of my favorite ways to prepare salmon! Sometimes I just use lemon pepper and garlic salt if I don’t have fresh lemon and garlic. It always turns out perfect!
I was looking for a recipe for panko I could use on some salmon patties and found this. It was excellent and I especially liked the fact that it was baked and not fried. Super recipe, and quick and easy to make.
My daughter and I loved it. Kept the salmon nice and moist with a ton of flavor.
This is so terrific! I modify slightly with dairy-free parm to accommodate an allergy in our family. Works great and the taste is incredible. This is a family favorite!
This was so delicious! I baked it in my convection toaster oven for 16 mts. It came out really nice. I’ll make it again!
Great weekday night dinner. Easy to make! Have made a recipe similar to this one of my own for years though I use ground up corn flakes as the breading. Food processor works great here. Following the directions the rest of the way, these turned out GREAT! I don’t care for planko and the taste of plain corn flakes gives just a breading taste to the meal without adding in any that takes away from this recipe.
First time making and it was very easy.
Followed another reviewer’s recommendation to add a tablespoon of mayonnaise. No fresh herbs in the pantry and substituted Italian herb paste. Turns out great!
Simple and tasty!
Family loved it! Easy too.
