Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.333 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic until combined.
Brush the mustard mixture generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
In another small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with oil and look slightly clumpy.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mustard-coated salmon fillets, pressing gently so the breadcrumbs adhere to the surface.
Place the salmon under the broiler about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Broiled Salmon Dijon with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
