Baked Salmon Filets Dijon



We eat salmon almost every Friday.  I don't like fish very much and it is the one kind I will eat.  This is a recipe that I have been making for many years.  The mustard and bread crumb topping make the salmon taste great and even my kids like it.  You can substitute margarine or Smart Balance for a version with even less fat.  You can also make this recipe with less salmon.  I used to make it with 3/4 -1 pound of salmon, but have recently been buying larger amounts because my boys are eating more.

1.25 pounds salmon filets
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/4 cup Italian Style bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste







Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Line a 9 x 13 pan with foil.  Place salmon on foil skin side down.
Season each fillet lightly with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the top of each filet.







Cover the mustard layer with the bread crumbs.  Melt the butter in the microwave and drizzle over the top of the filets.





Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the filets are opaque in the center and flake.
