Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for preparing the pan
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 lemon slices, for serving
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and rub with a light layer of olive oil. Set aside.
  2. In a shallow dish, toss together the panko, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Drizzle in the melted butter and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and mix to evenly coat the panko mixture. Set aside.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, then evenly spread the tops and sides with a thin layer of Dijon mustard.
  4. Transfer the fillets to the dish with the panko mixture. Press the breadcrumbs into each fillet to coat all over.
  5. Place the crusted salmon pieces onto the prepared sheet pan and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  6. Bake until salmon is cooked to your liking, about 8-13 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  7. Serve with lemon slices and additional chopped parsley.
