Lemon Pepper Garlic Parmesan Crusted Salmon

I mean the title is enough said; This lemon pepper garlic parmesan crusted salmon is ALWAYS A HIT in my household. The lemon pepper pairs so well with the salmon flavors, and the garlic parmesan crust just sends it over the roof! I love using mayonnaise because it gives a nice golden crust and keeps the salmon juicy, but i’ve made it with greek yogurt too and it still got the job done! Serve it with some baby spinach or your favorite greens for a quick and delicious weeknight meal. This was literally done in less that 25 minutes. Try the same mixture over chicken breasts; YUM!!
