Mustard Crusted Salmon
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 4-ounce salmon filets
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped fennel tops (or 1 tablespoon powdered fennel seed)
- 1½ tablespoons herbes de Provence
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Place salmon on parchment-lined baking sheet. Rub with the olive oil.
- Cover each filet with ¼ of the fennel tops and herbes de Provence.
- Combine the mustards and spread over the filets, using a rubber spatula or spoon to cover completely.
- Bake the salmon until flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. For a crunchier crust, broil for 1 to 2 minutes.
