Salmon, revered for its rich flavor profile, has always been a favorite among seafood enthusiasts and home cooks alike. The most common ways to prepare salmon often involve simple grilling, pan-searing, steaming, or poaching. These methods, while classic and delicious, are all great, but can be somewhat time-consuming and daunting for a busy weeknight.
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir to coat. Continue to toast the breadcrumbs until just starting to brown. Stir in the parsley and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the salmon fillets on the foil. Use a spoon to rub the mayonnaise mixture all over the top of the salmon. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the salmon and press to ensure they adhere.
Transfer the salmon to the oven and bake until salmon is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
