  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment or lightly grease it.

  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Brush the mixture generously over each salmon fillet.
  5. Combine mozzarella and Parmesan in another bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the tops of the fillets.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese for better melt and flavor.
  • Avoid overbaking to keep the salmon juicy.
  • Try adding a touch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
