Scale

- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Place your salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each fillet, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Generously spread the garlic-herb-Parmesan mixture over the top of each fillet, pressing it down gently to adhere.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve it warm, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.

Keywords: Don’t overcook the salmon; it’s best when it’s still moist. Feel free to customize the herbs to your liking, and this salmon pairs wonderfully with side dishes like roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
