Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 salmon fillet, about 2 pounds, left whole, skin on
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, chopped (not powdered)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425º F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper which serves to keep the fish moist and make for easy cleanup.
  • Wash the salmon filet and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, onto lined baking sheet. Cover salmon with another piece of parchment paper.
  • Bake salmon for 10 minutes. While it bakes, stir all remaining ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Remove salmon from oven and discard top piece of parchment paper. Top the salmon with herb and cheese mixture. Return to oven uncovered and bake until the internal temp registers 135º F. The Parmesan cheese should be melted and golden brown.
  • Remove the fish and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
