1/4 cup panko bread crumbs (Japanese-style)
4 salmon fillets (approx. 6 oz each)
1 tsp olive oil

Set oven to 'high' broil. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.


In a small bowl, combine potato chips and bread crumbs.


Rub olive oil onto salmon fillets. Place on foil-covered baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.


Broil for 9 - 10 minutes. Remove from oven and check fish for doneness. If needed, place back in to broil for longer; be sure to check doneness about every 1 - 2 minutes.


Carefully spread the Dijon mustard over the fish fillets and press chip/crumb mixture on top.


Place back in to broil until crust is golden brown; about 1 minute.
