Ingredients:

3 tsp black pepper
6g
1 tsp salt
6g
2 tbsp mustard seeds
13g
8 oz salmon
230g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/4 cup water
60g
1 onion
80g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Finely chop the onion and set it aside.
2. Prepare Mustard Paste:
- In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, salt, and mustard seeds. Mix well.
3. Season the Salmon:
- Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rub the mixed spices over the surface of the salmon, making sure it's evenly coated.
4. Sauté the Onion:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Cook the Salmon:
- Lightly grease a baking dish and place the seasoned salmon fillet in it.
- Spread the sautéed onions evenly over the salmon.
- Add 1/4 cup of water to the dish to keep the fish moist during baking.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
7. Serve:
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.

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.
