Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the Salmon Fillets (2 lb) on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Season with salt and pepper. Season liberally, since the fish is very thick and the salt needs to penetrate all the way through to the center.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the Mayonnaise (1/4 cup) , juice from Lemon (1) , Dijon Mustard (1/2 Tbsp) , and Garlic (1 clove) . The mixture should be thin enough to easily spread over the onions.

Step 5

Cover the surface of the fish with the Onion (1) and creamy mayo mixture and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Top with the Shredded Parmesan Cheese (1/4 cup) and Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (1/3 cup) .

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes.

Step 8

Then broil for 2-5 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
