A delightful salmon bake with a crispy herb topping, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy topping.
Lightly grease a baking pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets in the pan and season with oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning for better flavor absorption.
Layer the tomato slices, onion slices, and parsley over the salmon.
Slice the vegetables thinly for even cooking.
In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and olive oil until combined.
Add a pinch of paprika for extra flavor.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the salmon and vegetables.
Press the topping gently to help it adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon's doneness by its opaque color and flakiness.
Serve the salmon bake warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
