Dijon mustard, a little honey and breadcrumbs on top of a salmon fillet, then into the oven. The mustard keeps the crumbs in place and the honey balances its sharpness — two ingredients doing three jobs.

Salmon is done at an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), when it flakes easily with a fork. Pull it out at that point: a couple of extra minutes is the difference between moist and dry.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillet4 oz (113 g)
  • Dijon mustard1 tablespoon (15 g)
  • Honey1 teaspoon (7 g)
  • Breadcrumbs2 tablespoons (14 g)
  • Olive Oil (Extra Virgin)1 teaspoon (5 g)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped1 teaspoon (1 g)
Cook’s tips
  • Pat the salmon dry before adding the Dijon so the coating sticks and browns.
  • Bake just until it flakes at the thickest part — carryover heat finishes it and keeps it moist.
  • Gluten-free swap: gluten-free panko, toasted for a minute first so it still browns.
  • Contains: fish (salmon), wheat (breadcrumbs).
  • Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free as written.

Method

  1. Wash your hands and all surfaces before you start.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200C (400F) and line a baking tray.
  3. Stir together the Dijon mustard, honey and olive oil.
  4. Place the salmon on the tray and brush with the mustard mixture.
  5. Mix the breadcrumbs with the parsley and press onto the top of the salmon.
  6. Bake 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the crust is golden.
