Ingredients
Baked Mustard Salmon:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs Use gluten-free certified Panko if needed
- ¼ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne (optional, for spice)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces salmon (~2 fillets)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Tahini Sauce (Optional):
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (1 oz)
- 2 tablespoons tahini (1 oz)
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (1 ½ oz)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons cold water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and move an oven rack to the top of the oven.Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. When the butter melts (but before it browns), add the breadcrumbs, paprika, oregano, cayenne (if using), and salt.Stir and cook until toasted, about 2 minutes.Remove from heat and set aside.
- Brush an oven-safe pan (or sheet pan) with olive oil. Place salmon skin-side down on the pan.Smear one tablespoon of mustard on the salmon.
- Top the mustard with breadcrumbs. Use your fingers to press the breadcrumbs onto the salmon evenly.
- Place the salmon in the oven on the top rack. Bake fish for eight minutes per one-inch thickness.Turn on the oven broiler and broil fish for 2 minutes, until the Panko is golden. If your oven doesn't have a broiler, simply cook the fish for about two more minutes at 400°F.
- While the salmon cooks, whisk together all the tahini sauce ingredients. (I like to put the sauce in a small mason jar and shake it.)Serve the salmon while it's still hot along with the tahini sauce. Refrigerate any leftover sauce and use within 4 days.

Notes
- Salmon skin is edible but it won't be crisp. Discard skin if desired.
