Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C and line a small tray. Pat the salmon dry.

  2. 2

    Mix breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Spread a thin layer of mustard over the top of each fillet and press on the crumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish is safely cooked and the crust is golden.

  5. 5

    Rest for 2 minutes before serving so the flakes settle.

Cooking Tips

  • Measure cooking time from the thickest part of the fillet.
  • If the crust needs more color, grill briefly while watching closely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare herb-crusted salmon with mustard ahead?

Prepare components in advance where practical, but use the final cooking and resting steps for the best texture. Cool perishable ingredients promptly and store them covered in the refrigerator.

How should I adjust the seasoning?

Measure cooking time from the thickest part of the fillet. Taste near the end and make small adjustments rather than adding a large amount at once.
