Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼ cup plain or seasoned panko crumbs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Sauce
- ⅓ cup honey mustard sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with foil, and set aside.
- Make the Panko Topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, panko crumbs, and chopped fresh parsley; mix until thoroughly wet and combined.
- Coat Salmon with Sauce and Topping: Brush each salmon fillet evenly with the honey mustard sauce. Then press the panko crumb mixture evenly over each fillet to create a crust.
- Bake the Salmon: Place the coated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh salmon fillets with skin removed or on, depending on preference.
- Make sure to pat the salmon dry so the sauce and topping adhere better.
- You can substitute honey mustard sauce with a homemade mix of honey and Dijon mustard if desired.
- Check the salmon’s internal temperature with a food thermometer for perfect doneness.
- Leftover salmon keeps well refrigerated for up to 2 days.
