143.8...Baked Salmon with a Mustard Crumb Crust

Yesterday I went to one of Phillis Carey’s cooking classes and loved one of the recipes so much, I came home and made it for dinner!  My husband was working late, and as i usually do when he’s not home for dinner, I made salmon. I had all the ingredients at home and was super excited to enjoy it again!

Baked Salmon with a Mustard Crumb Crust (Serves 4)

Recipe from Phillis Carey

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp. distilled white vinegar

2 Tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp. powdered mustard

1/3 cup grapes or vegetable oil

4 (6 to 7 oz.) salmon fillets

Salt and pepper to taste

Dried thyme

1 cup coarse fresh French bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Place vinegar, sugar and both mustards in a blender or food processor. With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil and blend until medium-thick sauce forms.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Spread 1 Tbsp of the mustard sauce over each fillet, covering completely. Press breadcrumbs onto the fish and bake until cooked through and crumb topping is crisp and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve salmon immediately, passing remaining mustard sauce separately.

I served the salmon with wild rice and steamed broccoli. Yum!

Monday night I was running around picking kids up here and there, so I defrosted and reheated a slice of Souperior Meatloaf and steamed some broccoli.
