Ingredients

  • 2 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin on
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix together the Dijon mustard and panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Pat dry the salmon fillets and season with salt and pepper. Press the mustard panko mixture onto the flesh side of each fillet, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 12 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. While the salmon is baking, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 2 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in parsley, lemon zest, and juice. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.
  6. Serve the salmon fillets on plates, topping each with a generous spoonful of the garlic herb butter sauce.
