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

1. 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.

2. 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.
