With fish, I usually find that simple preparations are the best. This recipe is great because it’s simple, quick to prepare, and really flavorful. And since it’s broiled with just a little bit of mayo and cheese, it’s healthy too!
I served the salmon with brussels sprouts and skin-on mashed red potatoes. The salmon has a nice crust from the parmesan, and creaminess from the mayonnaise and dill. You could also try asiago or romano cheese with this.
For this dish, I use pre-cut salmon filets from the butcher counter at the grocery store. If you get a whole side, you’ll want to skin it before starting. I usually start broiling the salmon skin-side down for a prettier presentation.
It’s really easy, and only takes about fifteen minutes to prepare. This would make a good light supper in warm weather with a salad.
The Recipe:
- 3-4 six oz Fresh Salmon Filets, thawed if frozen
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
- 1 T lemon juice
- FRESH grated/shredded parmesan cheese (about 2 Tablespoons per filet)
Dried dill (opt)
Mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, and dill in small bowl. Broil salmon for five minutes each side. Flip salmon and brush with mayo mixture. Sprinkle liberally with parmesan cheese. Broil five minutes more, or until parmesan forms a golden-brown crust.

This was really yummy–I like the bit of crustiness from the Parmesan cheese and the mayo/dill mixture keeps the moisture. Of course, I had to share a bit of mine with the cat since he was meowing and wouldn’t leave us alone at dinner!
