Ingredients

• 4 pieces (each about 6 oz) fresh salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup lingonberry preserves
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon (optional for garnish) fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, and lemon zest. Set aside.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of the mustard mixture on top of each fillet, ensuring it covers the surface completely.

Step 6

In another small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil and mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the mustard layer on each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 8

While the salmon is baking, prepare the lingonberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the lingonberry preserves, unsalted butter, fresh lemon juice, and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and heated through, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Serve the salmon immediately, drizzled with the lingonberry sauce and optionally garnished with fresh thyme. Pair with your favorite side dish, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, for a complete meal.
