The mustardy, crisp topping on this salmon compliments the taste of this wonderful fish without over powering. Served over a great pasta tossed in a smooth mustard and citrus sauce makes it look and taste like something off of a restaurant menu!

How to make it
- Heat water and boil pasta per package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In small bowl, combine butter, bread crumbs, whole grain mustard, dry mustard,2 cloves garlic, hot sauce, dill and salt and pepper and mix until a crumbly, pasty mixture forms.(use a lil more/less butter/breadcrumbs as needed). Set aside.
- In medium sauce pan, melt remaining butter over medium heat and add onion and garlic.
- Cook about 4-5 minutes, until onion begins to get tender.
- Add mustard, and lemon juice and mix well.
- Add cream and bring just to a boil and immediately reduce heat and let simmer, stirring often, while preparing the rest of the meal.
- In large cast iron or similar high heat resistant pan, place asparagus pieces, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Heat in 450 oven for a few minutes, just until tender. Do not over cook.
- Remove asparagus from pan and set aside. Increase oven temp to 500.
- Place salmon fillets in still hot pan and immediately top each with a scoop of the breadcrumb/mustard mixture.
- Bake or broil(just don't get too close to the element or the crumbs will burn! Use your best judgment for your oven :) for about 5 minutes, until top is lightly golden browned and salmon flakes easily. Do not over cook.
- Toss still warm pasta and asparagus with the mustard sauce and serve the salmon on top of a serving of the pasta.
