¼ c. Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp. reduced-fat mayonnaise

¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese

¼ c. panko breadcrumbs 4 (4 oz.) salmon fillets

¼ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. ground black pepper

2 tsp. olive oil

PREP

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. In a small bowl, combine the mustard and mayonnaise. In another small bowl, combine the cheese and breadcrumbs.
