Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (4-6 ounces each)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (2 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons chopped parsley divided
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning salmon
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper plus more for seasoning salmon
- lemon wedges to serve, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
- Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Place fillets on a parchment paper- or foil-lined baking sheet. (See note below.)
- Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper.
- Now combine mayonnaise, dijon mustard, coarse ground mustard, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley in a small bowl.
- Spread tops of the salmon fillets with this mixture.
- Combine panko breadcrumbs, ¼ t. salt, ¼ t. pepper, and ½ tablespoon chopped parsley in a small bowl.
- Now sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the salmon fillets, covering the mayonnaise-mustard mixture with a thick layer of crumbs.
- Pat down gently on the breadcrumbs to adhere.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crumbs are golden, and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
Choose thick salmon fillets (about 1.5 inches tall for this recipe). Thinner fillets may overcook.
If your crumbs are not golden brown by the time your salmon is cooked, pop the sheet pan under the broiler for a minute—if you've never made this recipe before and aren't sure whether the crumbs will brown, line your sheet pan with foil and not parchment. Parchment will burn under the broiler.
