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.

PARMESAN BAKED SALMON
This recipe is very easy to make, low calorie and bursting with flavor. I found it in one of my favorite cookbooks, Easy Dinners: Healthy Recipes. I used Miracle Whip instead of the light mayo to shave off a few extra calores.

Steps:
- Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Coat a 2-quart square or rectangular baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise dressing, Parmesan cheese, the green onions, and the Worcestershire sauce. Spread mayonnaise mixture over fish fillets evenly, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake, uncovered, in a 450 degree oven just until fish flakes easily with a fork (allow 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2inch thickness of fish).
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet with a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are pale or have a slimy texture.
- Season the salmon well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan cheese is what gives this dish its signature flavor, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque throughout. You can check the salmon's doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is cooked.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Parmesan-baked salmon is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy. You can garnish the salmon with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Parmesan-baked salmon is an easy and delicious way to cook salmon. It is a perfect meal for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of crispy Parmesan cheese and tender, flaky salmon is sure to please everyone at the table.
