Salmon is one of the classic dishes for weeknight dinners or simple house gatherings. The salmon is baked with cheese and mayonnaise and cheese. A whole fillet is baked in the oven under a golden cheese crust.

With the ultra-thin layers of bechamel sauce, this popular main course dish forms this amazing crust but still comprises creamy crust. Once you take a classic bite of juicy and flaky salmon, the dish presents strong flavours of spices without overpowering the actual taste of salmon.

For great perfection and authentic taste, you can also add a layer of tomatoes or fresh herbs for a change. Cheesy baked salmon with crispy topping makes for a delicious meal for any occasion.

Next, pour milk while constantly mixing the batter. Ensure that the sauce is smooth and thick enough. Season the sauce with nutmeg, black pepper and salt. Place salmon fillet, skin side down touching the baking tray lined with a baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on top of the salmon steak and pour bechamel sauce on top. For a cheesy finish, top it with a quick melted cheese. Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 at 200 degrees Celsius. Broil for 5 minutes until the cheese is golden brown. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley on top. Serve and enjoy!
