Ingredients
4salmon fillets,rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, or line it with foil, and set aside.
Brush each salmon fillet with the prepared honey mustard sauce.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, panko crumbs, and parsley; mix until thoroughly wet and combined.
Press the panko crumbs mixture evenly over each fillet.
Transfer the salmon fillets to the baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 16 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and until the salmon's internal temperature registers at 145˚F. Remove from oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
Begin with a ¼ cup each of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey. You'll also need 1 tablespoon each of yellow mustard and white vinegar, along with an ⅛ teaspoon of sweet paprika. Salt and pepper can be added according to your taste preference.
Combine all the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, in a small bowl. Whisk everything together until it's well combined. After mixing, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding salt and pepper if required.
Helpful Tips
Try to get salmon fillets that are about the same size. If they're different sizes and thicknesses, they might not cook evenly.
Keep the skin on when you're cooking. Most of the time, I leave the skin on the salmon while baking. Once cooked, the skin is easy to remove or eat around using a knife and fork.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Health experts say that seafood should be cooked to at least 145ºF to be safe to eat.
This recipe calls for fresh parsley, but you can get creative and customize it to your liking. Use other fresh herbs like chopped dill, basil, tarragon, sage, rosemary, thyme, etc.
