Ingredients

• 4 6-ounce pieces Salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season each fillet with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and whole-grain mustard. Spread a thin, even layer of the mustard mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the olive oil.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. Serve the salmon with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy!
