Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 to 8 ounces each
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
    4 salmon fillets
  • Sprinkle the fillets lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
    Kosher salt | Freshly ground black pepper
  • Coat the tops of the fillets with the mustard. Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons on each fillet.
    3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • In a bowl, toss the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, and a small pinch each of salt and pepper.
    1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs | 2 tbsp melted butter | 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley | 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
    • For a finer coating, blitz the crumbs in a food processor.
  • Sprinkle the crumb mixture on each fillet and pat them down gently so they adhere to the mustard.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or just until the salmon is done but still moist. Look for a temperature of about 135°F to 140°F on an instant-read thermometer (the USDA recommends 145°F for fully cooked fish).
    • The temperature of the salmon will continue to rise slightly after it comes out of the oven, so pull it at 135°F to 140°F if you prefer it moist and tender.
