Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin-side down.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you achieve a homogenous, crumbly texture.
  4. Spoon the crust mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, pressing it gently into the fish.
  5. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove from the oven, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the top, and serve immediately.
