Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 4 salmon fillets (about 4 oz or 115 g each)

• Salt, to taste
  
  

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  
  

• ¼ cup Italian-style dry breadcrumbs
  
  

• ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  
  

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a shallow baking pan with foil or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
   
   

2. Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down if applicable.
   
   

3. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly over the top of each fillet.
   
   

4. Season the mustard-coated fillets lightly with salt and pepper.
   
   

5. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of each fillet, ensuring even coverage.
   
   

6. Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumb topping.
   
   

7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the top is golden and crisp.
   
   

8. Serve immediately while hot, paired with your favorite sides.
