Low Carb Baked Salmon with Creamy Parmesan Topping

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

Salmon fillet (about 4 portions) 1–2 lbs
Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%) 1/3 cup
Grated Parmesan cheese 1/3 cup
Mayonnaise 3 tbsp
Lemon juice 1 tbsp
Olive oil 1 tbsp
Dijon mustard 1 tsp
Lemon zest (optional) 1 tsp
Fresh dill or parsley (or 1 tsp dried) 1 tbsp
Garlic powder 1/2 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp
Black pepper 1/4 tsp
Paprika or smoked paprika (optional) Pinch
Lemon wedges For serving
Directions


Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly brush or spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Season the Salmon
Place salmon on the baking sheet (skin-side down). Pat dry with paper towels to help the topping adhere. Season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3: Make the Topping
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, and paprika until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Coat the Fish
Spread the topping evenly over the salmon, from edge to edge. Any drips down the sides will form a tasty sauce as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on fillet thickness. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the topping has set.
