Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine the wheat germ and mustard seeds. Season the salmon fillets with salt & pepper. In a bowl, blend the Dijon mustard with the dry mustard & spread it over the skinned side of the fillets. Dip the mustard side of the fillets in the wheat germ mixture until thickly coated.

In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the fillets, crust side down, & cook over moderately high heat until browned & crisp. 3 min. Turn the fillets and cook over moderate heat until barely cooked in the center, 3 min longer. Transfer the salmon to plates & serve crust side up.
