Ingredients
- 1.25 lb. salmon fillet 4-oz. each, about 5 fillets
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt divided, 1/4 tsp

- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs 14g
- 1/4 cup pesto 60g
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard 30g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, 1 tsp salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the parsley, panko and pesto and another 1/4 tsp of salt.
- Place the salmon on the baking sheet, skin side down. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt then spread the mustard over top.
- Add the brown sugar mixture evenly over top all the salmon fillets. Then add the panko mixture on top.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and tender with a fork.

Notes
- To make gluten-free: use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.
- *Salmon can come in a wide range of sizes. I’d recommend the individually-packed kind because they’re easier to work and already pre-portioned. Usually these come as 4-oz. fillets (so 5 fillets for this recipe) or 5-oz. fillets (so 4 fillets for this recipe). If your salmon is a different size, that is fine - just get as close as you can or scale the recipe as needed! Also if you rather do a large salmon fillet instead of the individual fillets, that works too! Whatever kind you use, I would still recommend getting the kind with the skin on. It helps keep the salmon from drying out during cooking. And it falls off like a glove once baked so you can just get rid of it then if you want!
