Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and set up
Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Arrange the salmon
Place the salmon fillets on the sheet. Pat the tops dry with a paper towel so the coating grips well.
Spread the mayonnaise
Brush a thin, even layer of mayonnaise over the top of each fillet, reaching the edges.
Season
Sprinkle lemon pepper evenly over the mayo. If your blend is salty, use a slightly lighter hand.
Add the Parmesan topping
Divide the grated Parmesan over the fillets. Let it cover the surface without pressing down.
Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the top is lightly browned.
Rest and serve
Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes out of the oven. Serve with lemon wedges if you like.
