Salmon fillet topped with a tasty Gruyere cheese crust. Absolutely my favorite oven-baked salmon recipe. Serve on rice with salsa on the side.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

cooking spray (such as Pam®)
1 ½ cups shredded Gruyere cheese
⅔ cup dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
½ medium lemon, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 (8 ounce) fillets sockeye salmon

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
Stir Gruyere, bread crumbs, melted butter, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and garlic together in a bowl.
Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Divide bread crumb mixture into 4 portions and press into the top of the fillets to form a crust.
Bake in the center of the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until crust is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
