How to Make Baked Dijon Salmon Fillets

  3. Place salmon fillets (skin-side down) in the prepared pan.
  4. Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly over each fillet.
  5. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Top each fillet with 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of melted butter.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
