Description
Baked Salmon with Creamy Cheese Topping is a must-try dish that combines the rich flavors of salmon with a creamy, cheesy topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden-brown top.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in some chopped green onions or capers into the creamy topping.
- Substitute the mozzarella cheese with cheddar or feta for a different taste profile.
