Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillet
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley, freshly chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the toaster oven baking tray with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined to create the mustard sauce.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well to create the breadcrumb topping.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking tray. Spread an even layer of the mustard sauce over the top of each fillet.

Step 5

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mustard-coated surface of the salmon fillets, lightly pressing it down to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Place the baking tray in the preheated toaster oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown. Adjust cook time as needed based on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the mustard-crusted salmon with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
