I am so excited to share this recipe! I made it on a hectic afternoon when workmen were zipping around my house and I was trying to put together dinner for my husband before getting back to work. I took a quick bite as I was heading out the door. Stopped. And turned right back around to the kitchen to eat some more. It is sooo good!
I upped the amount of parmesan cheese from other similar recipes so that it would form a nice crust, instead of runny liquid. Dill is always the perfect compliment to salmon and the ground mustard provides a little background heat.
- 2 pieces of salmon (about 1.5lbs total)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp dill weed
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Mix together mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, dill and mustard.
- Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Smear half of the mayonnaise mix on top of each piece of salmon.
- Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the crust is brown and the fish flakes easily.
Okay, here we go!
You’ll need:
- 2 pieces of salmon (about 1.5lbs total)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp dill weed
- 1 tsp ground mustard
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. I took the skin off my salmon because my supermarket didn’t properly de-scale it, but you can keep it on if you like.
Mix together mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, dill and mustard.
Smear half of the mayonnaise mix on top of each piece of salmon.
Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the crust is brown and the fish flakes easily.
Do you see this crust??? #micdrop
I serve this for dinner with freshly steamed broccoli dusted with lots of black pepper.
Keep your shoes nearby because once you bite into that juicy, crispy, cheesy crust and tender salmon, you will be running right back out the door for more salmon!
Ahh!! beautiful pictures, more beautiful fish 😉
Thank you!! 🙂
Made this tonight and it was great! Thanks for the idea! Didn’t have dill or ground mustard so subbed in just a bit of dried basil and Dijon mustard. Put along with peas and quinoa. Will be adding to Salmon staple dishes!
Mmmmmm, basil and dijon sounds heavenly! Thanks, JP!! 🙂
I’ve made this before and love it. This time I added freshly squeezed lemon to it. And it turned out even better.
Genius Mike! That sounds sooo good! 🙂
I NEVER liked seafood of any kind….still don’t…but I LOVE this recipe, and will happily eat it! I doubled the topping because, well, cheese! I used a good squirt of dijon mustard, as I didn’t have mustard powder.
Thank you, Michele! 😀 I love that you tried this and loved it! And yes to more CHEESE!
I’ve been making this ever since you first posted it and it’s my wife’s favorite recipe!
Oh wow, Carlos! I am so glad you guys are enjoying this!! 😀
Why is this recipe 10 carbs?
Hi Margaret! I suspect it is from the mayo and parmesan cheese. Even though the nutrition panels might say something is 0 carbs, if you use more than a particular serving size, there can be carbs in that item.
