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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic until combined.

Step 4

Brush the mustard mixture generously over the top of each salmon fillet.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mustard-coated salmon fillets, pressing gently so the breadcrumbs adhere to the surface.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Broiled Salmon Dijon with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
