Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix together Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter and Dijon mustard together until smooth.
  4. Brush the salmon fillets with the butter-mustard mixture.
  5. Press the tops of the salmon fillets into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
