Salmon can be cooked in a variety of different ways, whether in the oven, air fryer or on the hob.
However, it is often easiest in the oven because it can be placed in there and forgotten about.
Mary Berry has shared her baked salmon recipe which features a delicious parmesan and parsley crust.
It has nearly 50 five-star ratings on BBC Good Food with many claiming this is a delicious and easy recipe.
The notes said: “Mary Berry’s foolproof recipe for easy baked salmon with luscious crunchy parmesan crust can be on the table in no time.”
Ingredients:
Six 150g salmon fillets, skinned
Salt and black pepper
150g cream cheese
Small garlic clove, crushed
Half a lemon, grated rind only
25g fresh white breadcrumbs
25g coarsely grated parmesan
Two tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
Paprika
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200C or 180C Fan and then season both sides of the salmon fillets before placing them on a greased baking sheet or roasting tin.
Mash the cream cheese with the garlic, salt, pepper and lemon rind. Divide into six and spread on top of each salmon fillet.
Mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan, and parsley in a small bowl and season before sprinkling them on top of the cream cheese mixture and dusting them with paprika.
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. To tell when the salmon is done, it will have changed to an opaque pink colour.
Serve immediately with a side of your choice such as new potatoes or rice. Make sure to garnish with the chopped parsley.
This recipe serves six people and can easily be reheated the following day, but it is best served fresh.
