Parmesan Crusted Salmon Casserole
Today I am not going to say much about this dish. Ooey-gooey cheese lovingly wrapping each piece of salmon, topped with a crispity-crisp crust shown on the picture says everything you need to know about this Cheesy Parmesan Crusted Salmon Bake. I will just say that it’s incredibly delicious and is usually devoured with minutes.
It’s also great for parties, since you can prep this Salmon Bake before hand and just pop it in the oven for 15 minutes right before you’re ready to serve it. I probably wouldn’t put the Parmesan Panco topping on top until you’re ready to bake it, just to make sure that it comes out crispy, but you can definitely pre-mix everything for the topping ahead of time.
Enjoy!
Parmesan Crusted Salmon Casserole
Servings: 2 – 4
Ingredients:
- salmon fillet
- grated cheese (mozzarella, Mexican, cheddar, gouda etc)
- garlic, peeled & pressed
- mayonnaise
- mustard powder
- paprika
- freshly ground black pepper
- salt
- Small bunch of flat leaf Italian parsley
Parmesan Crust:
- Panko Crumbs
- parmesan cheese, grated
- melted butter, unsalted
Make the Parmesan Panco Crust:
Combine the Panco crumbs, grated parmesan cheese and butter together in a bowl. Stir until the butter coats the crumbs evenly. Set aside.
Chop the parsley:
Thoroughly wash the parsley under running water and use paper towel to dry the leaves. Cut off the stems, then finely chop the leaves. Set aside.
Rinse Salmon fillet under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut into 1 inch cubes.
Stir the spices together.
Add spices, parsley, pressed garlic, mayonnaise, and 1/2 the cheese to the salmon cubes. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Preheat oven to 425F with the baking rack in the middle.
Transfer the mixture to a ovenproof baking dish (I used a 9’’x6’’) and flatten the salmon mixture. Sprinkle the top evenly with cheese, then breadcrumb mixture.
Allow to bake for 5-7 minutes uncovered, then once the breadcrumbs are golden in color loosely cover with foil and bake for another 9-10 minutes or until the salmon is baked through in the middle of the dish. Remove from the oven and serve with steamed vegetables or a side dish of choice.

This was delicious! Thank you!
Came together so quickly and tasted amazing!! Also, reheats well in the air fryer.
Definitely a keeper! Thank you.
Hi, do you think I can freeze this… the leftovers?
This simply sounds so good, I going to make this evening for dinner!
What do you do with the skin on the salmon? Do you remove before cooking? Recipe looks delicious. Thank you.
Yes, I just remove it.
And thank you!
This sounds amazing! Wondering if you have a suggestion for a good substitute for Mayo?
Hi Caroline, I would use some oil as a binder instead if mayo is not an option.
I just made this recipe, I followed the directions exactly. When I just pulled it from the oven it was raw 🙁 put it in for another 10 min. Hopefully it’ll be done, it looks and smells delicious.
Hi, Just wondering if the Cheesy Parmesan Crusted Salmon Bake can be frozen? I am the only one that eats fish in the house 🙁
I do realise that it might not be crusty anymore though 🙂 Just concerned about freezing the fish!!
I made this as one of my dishes for a New Years Party! This was a hit! Everyone loved it! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Yay! Thank you for your feedback!
I have been looking for a recipe to use up the rest of my salmon pices. Thsi will be great. Thank you.
Hi, it looks so DELICIOUS and with salmon…My, oh my! But I was wondering, in your opinion how it would taste with white fish fillets like tilapia or Swaii
Hi Lenochka, thank you dear!
I think it would work just as well with other fish, since I roast tilapia and swai the same way all the time (salt, pepper, garlic powder + olive oil/butter, lemon).
You didn’t even now that, but you’re a mind reader! I was just thinking what I should do with my salmon and here you posted about it. Will be trying tomorrow. Thank you!
I’m so hungry now!! That looks crazy good!
Thanks Natasha!
