Ingredients

  • Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil
  • 2 pounds salmon (I used one fillet)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick) melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven. Melt the butter in your microwave and let it cool a bit while prepping the rest of the ingredients.
  • Line a baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil with the dull side facing up.
  • Place the salmon fillet on the baking sheet and season it generously with salt & pepper.
  • In a small bowl, add the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder, parsley, and lemon zest. Stir well until combined.
  • Add the melted butter and panko breadcrumbs to the bowl and gently combine until the breadcrumbs are coated.
  • Pat the breadcrumb mixture evenly onto the salmon using your hands.
  • Bake the salmon for 15-25 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork (check after 15 minutes if the salmon is less than 1" thick).
  • Cut into even pieces (a spatula works) and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To use 1 pound of salmon, halve all ingredients. You don't need to use a whole salmon fillet; cut-up pieces will work just fine.
