This one is SUPER EASY! It was my first attempt at baked salmon...I am not even a huge fan of salmon and my whole family loved it...even my 3 year old couldn't get enough! I did not put the amount of each ingredient needed because this is a great recipe you can make for 1 or 10 people. It is very versatile and easy.
Ingredients
Frozen Salmon fillets or Fresh Salmon Fillet (Skin on)
Salt and pepper (dash)
EVOO (drizzle)
Dijon Mustard (1 tbsp per fillet)
Italian Bread crumbs (3 tbsp per fillet)
**The cooking time in the recipe will vary depending on the thickness of the fillet, and whether you are using fresh or frozen. The goal is to cook the salmon till it turns slightly opaque. If bagged frozen fillets, the frozen cooking time will be on the bag.**
Directions
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F
2. Take a 9x13 Baking dish and line the bottom with parchment paper. (This makes for a nice easy cleanup)
3. Sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper, make sure you get all sides.
4. Lay salmon skin side down in pan and put 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard over top, and spread it evenly over the top of the fillet.
5. Gently press the breadcrumbs in to the Dijon mustard forming a crust.
6. Drizzle each salmon fillet with EVOO
7. Bake anywhere from 15-25 minutes depending on number of fillets and fresh or frozen.
This is great served with pickled dill cucumbers and couscous. You can find the cucumber recipe here on my blog, and there are many varieties of couscous in your grocery store. I like the Parmesan couscous with this dish.
