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
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the Dijon mustard and panko breadcrumbs.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Serve the salmon fillets on plates, topping each with a generous spoonful of the garlic herb butter sauce.
