Ingredients

For the salmon:

  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced
  • 4 (6 oz) pieces Atlantic salmon, skinless
  • 4 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

For the brown sugar topping:

  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For panko parsley topping:

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (you can also use crushed potato chips for a gluten free version)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay 3 lemon slices in a single row for each piece of salmon.
  • Place each piece of salmon on top of the lemon bed. Check for fish bones. Remove the fish bones with fish tweezers if needed.
  • Spread or brush the top of the filets with dijon mustard.
  • In a bowl, stir together the brown sugar topping ingredients.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar topping on top of the mustard salmon. Make sure to cover the salmon all over.
  • In a small bowl, combine the panko parsley ingredients.
  • Sprinkle on the panko topping on the salmon. It's okay if some falls off.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is no longer opaque in the middle.
