Mustard Crusted Salmon
Ingredients
2 Tbsp Asian mustard powder
2 Tbsp cold water
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 splash apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp mayo
1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs + 2 Tbsp
1/4 cup cotija cheese
3 sprigs thyme
Salt, pepper, smoked paprika
2 salmon filets
Directions
Combine the mustard powder and cold water until it's a paste. Allow to sit 10-15 minutes (this will create the mustard heat!) Then stir in the lemon juice. Add brown sugar, salt, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, cotija, mayo, thyme, paprika, and splash of apple cider vinegar.
Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. Top salmon with a generous portion of the mustard topping, and top each salmon with the additional 1 Tbsp bread crumbs each. Bake at 375 F for 20-25 minutes or until salmon flakes. Broil for 60 seconds for a crispy top.
