Baked Dijon Salmon

 

I modified this recipe from allrecipes, replacing the butter with olive oil and using panko bread crumbs instead of dry bread crumbs and pecans. I mixed together the olive oil, Dijon mustard and honey and spread that over the salmon, and covered with panko bread crumbs. I then baked the salmon for 12-15 min at 400 degrees.
