Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if the skin is intact. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard and whole-grain mustard. Spread an even layer of the mustard mixture on top of each salmon fillet.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.

Step 5

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture over the salmon fillets, pressing it down gently to form a crust.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and the salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
