1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2

Set the salmon on the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3

Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the filets.
4

Meanwhile, for the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the milk and cream; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
5

Reduce the heat to very low. Add the Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese in small handfuls, whisking constantly until melted; remove from the heat.
6

Stir in the lemon zest. Add the lemon juice slowly to taste; season with salt and white pepper. Garnish with parsley.
