Dijon Mustard Crusted Salmon

Servings: 4           Prep Time: 10 minutes        Cook Time: 20 minutes

Recipe inspired by Borrowed Salt

Ingredients

• 4 Popsie Sockeye Salmon Portions
• salt and pepper
• Dijon mustard
• 4 tsp dry breadcrumbs
• 2 Tbs olive or vegetable oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 500F / 260C.
2. Season salmon on both sides.  On one side of each portion, spread about 2 Tbs mustard, then press in 1 tsp breadcrumbs to form a crust.
3. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add oil.  When oil is shimmering hot, add the salmon, mustard-side down.  Lower heat to medium.  Sear for 2 minutes, then carefully flip and sear 1 minute more.  When flipping, take care to keep the crust from breaking off the fish.  Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 3-4 minutes more, depending on size of salmon.
4. Enjoy!
