Prepare the salmon fillets by patting them dry with paper towels.

Season the salmon with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated parmesan cheese.

Dredge each salmon fillet in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Transfer the fillet to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere breadcrumbs evenly.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the breaded salmon fillets to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels.

In a separate bowl, toss arugula and halved cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Plate the salmon and serve with the arugula salad on the side.

Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley.
