Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 salmon fillets (rinsed and patted dry with paper towels)
Coating and Seasoning:
- ¼ cup plain or seasoned panko crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Sauce:
- ⅓ cup honey mustard sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF, creating an ideal roasting environment for the salmon.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lightly coating with cooking spray or lining with aluminum foil to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Create a glossy glaze by thoroughly coating each salmon fillet with the honey mustard sauce, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Craft a crispy topping by combining melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley in a mixing bowl, stirring until the mixture becomes uniformly moist.
- Carefully distribute the buttery panko mixture over the salmon fillets, pressing gently to create a uniform, golden-brown crust that will add texture and flavor.
- Arrange the prepared salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining even spacing for consistent cooking.
- Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12 to 16 minutes, monitoring until the fish becomes delicately flaky and reaches an internal temperature of 145˚F.
- After removing from the oven, allow the salmon to rest for approximately 5 minutes, which helps the juices redistribute and ensures maximum tenderness.
- Plate and serve the golden-crusted honey mustard salmon, ready to delight your taste buds with its perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and crispy elements.
Notes
- Golden panko crumbs create a delightful crispy texture that seals in the salmon’s moisture and flavor.
- Baking at high temperature ensures quick cooking while maintaining the fish’s tender, flaky consistency.
- Resting the salmon after baking allows juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent and delicious final dish.
