Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • ½ teaspoon honey

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • 3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 (1 pound) skinless salmon fillet, fresh or frozen

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Combine mustard, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, honey, salt and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Combine panko, walnuts and oil in another small bowl.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
