Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly brush or spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Season the Salmon
Place salmon on the baking sheet (skin-side down). Pat dry with paper towels to help the topping adhere. Season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3: Make the Topping
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Coat the Fish
Spread the topping evenly over the salmon, from edge to edge. Any drips down the sides will form a tasty sauce as it bakes.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on fillet thickness. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the topping has set.
Pro Tip: For a golden, bubbly finish, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end—watch carefully!
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the salmon rest 3–5 minutes so juices redistribute. Slice and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
