Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic until combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking dish and brush the mustard mixture evenly over the tops of each fillet.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously over the mustard-coated salmon, gently pressing down to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a side salad. Enjoy!
