You can put this together in five minutes and cook it in ten minutes or so. And while it’s baking you can saute a quick pan of garden fresh vegetables or throw together a tossed salad for the perfectly healthy weeknight meal. I like this on a bed of romaine with a simple Caesar dressing myself. So good!

Easy Lemon Parmesan Baked Salmon
Ingredients
- 8 ounces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Mediterranean olive oil (I like a garlic infused type)
- 1/2 whole lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F./broil.
- In a small rectangular baking dish, pour oil and the juice from the lemon.
- Coat both sides of the fish in the oil/juice; season fish with salt, pepper, thyme leaves, and garlic powder; place Parmesan on a plate and press fish side down into the Parmesan (not the skin side) and place fish fish side up (skin side down) in the baking dish. Sprinkle any escaped cheese onto top of the fish.
- Broil about 4-6 inches from element (top rack) for 10-12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
