Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 0.5 cup Pitted green olives
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 cloves Garlic clove
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a food processor, combine the pitted green olives, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh parsley, juice of half a lemon, garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Spread a generous layer of the olive and mustard mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the coated salmon, pressing them gently to adhere to the olive-mustard mixture.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the breadcrumb topping to help it crisp up as it bakes.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 15–17 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
While the salmon is baking, cut the remaining half of the lemon into wedges for serving.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Plate the salmon cutlets and garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired. Serve with the lemon wedges on the side.
