Mustard Crusted Salmon Filets

Directions

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 3 Tablespoons Basil Pesto Mustard
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 Tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (loosely packed when measuring)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Robust, nutty mustard flavor paired with a delicate crisp breading, salmon at its best.

  1. Preheat oven to 425° F.
  2. Place salmon fillets on work surface skin side down. Brush tops with Basil Pesto Mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, panko bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest, paprika and salt in a bowl. Toss to combine.
  4. Top each filet with bread crumbs, pressing hard so they adhere.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. When hot add salmon fillets skin side down and sear for 2-3 minutes. Finish off in oven 5-7 minutes until crumbs are golden and fish is flaky. Rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
