Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon fillet, skin-side down, on top.
Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salmon fillet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the salmon, pressing it down lightly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Let it rest for a couple of minutes, then slice into portions and serve immediately.
