Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
