The combination of tangy Dijon mustard and crispy, buttery bread crumbs creates a delightful contrast of flavors and textures, making this salmon recipe a family favorite.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures it’s hot and ready when you’re done preparing the salmon.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is still on.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Spread 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard evenly over the top of the salmon fillets. Use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to ensure even coverage.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and 1/2 stick of melted butter. Mix until the bread crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
- Spoon the buttery bread crumb mixture over the Dijon mustard layer on each salmon fillet. Press down gently to ensure the crumbs adhere to the mustard.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork, and the bread crumbs should be golden brown.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Transfer the fillets to serving plates and enjoy your Dijon salmon fillets with buttery bread crumbs!
Tips:
- Choose high-quality, fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
- You can use whole grain or gluten-free bread crumbs if you prefer a healthier or gluten-free option.
- Allow the butter to soften at room temperature before mixing with the bread crumbs for easier application.
- Preheat the oven to ensure even cooking of the salmon fillets.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an added burst of flavor and a touch of color.
