Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets (150 g each)
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, dill), chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the top of each fillet.
2 Create the Crust
Mix breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, and a bit of olive oil, then press this mixture onto the mustard-coated side of each salmon fillet.
3 Sear the Salmon
In a hot skillet with olive oil, place the salmon skin-side down to crisp the skin, then flip to sear the crusted side briefly.
4 Finish Cooking
Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 200°C and bake until the salmon is fully cooked and the crust is golden.
5 Serve
Drizzle with a touch of melted butter or a squeeze of lemon before serving.
