Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if the skin is intact. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard and whole-grain mustard. Spread an even layer of the mustard mixture on top of each salmon fillet.
In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture over the salmon fillets, pressing it down gently to form a crust.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and the salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
