- Spread the sautéed onions evenly over the salmon.
- Add 1/4 cup of water to the dish to keep the fish moist during baking.

Tips:
- Ensure the salmon is fresh and at room temperature before you start cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Toast the mustard seeds lightly before using them in the crust for an added depth of flavor.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels before applying the mustard and shallot mixture to help the crust adhere better.
- If you prefer a less spicy crust, reduce the amount of black pepper or use a milder variety.
- Serve the salmon immediately after cooking for the best taste and texture, and consider pairing it with a light salad or steamed vegetables to balance the flavors.
By combining the natural richness of salmon with a flavorful mustard and shallot crust, you've created a dish that is both elegant and satisfying. This recipe is a wonderful way to enjoy salmon and will surely impress your guests or delight your family.
