Download Salmon Fillets with Crispy Mustard and Dill Crust Recipe

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

1 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard

1/3 cup vegetable oil

4 6- to 7-ounce salmon fillets

1 cup fresh French breadcrumbs (made with baguette or hearty white sandwich bread)

4 ounces Kettle cooked potato chips, crushed

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Place vinegar, sugar and both mustards in blender. With machine running, slowly pour in oil and blend until medium-thick sauce forms. (Can be made 1 day ahead; refrigerate.) Pulse bread in mini cuisinart with dill to make fine crumbs, transfer to small bowl; mix in crushed chips and set aside.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 13 x 9-inch baking dish with olive oil. Arrange salmon in prepared dish, skin side down.  Season with salt and pepper.  Spread 1 tablespoon mustard sauce over each fillet, covering completely. Press breadcrumbs onto fish. Bake salmon until cooked through and crumb topping is crisp and golden brown, about 18 minutes.

Using large spatula as aid, transfer salmon fillets to platter.
