Baked Salmon with Lemon & Dill Breadcrumbs

Feel free to use any chopped herb you have on hand for this tasty baked salmon recipe…or any of your favorite fish fillets as well.  Coating the fish first with coarse grain mustard not only adds extra moisture to the fish itself as it bakes, but it acts as a surface coating that the chopped herbs, breadcrumbs and chopped lemon zest stick to.  I like to use fresh dill here because it pairs so nicely with the lemony flavor of the zest–and to keep the springtime theme alive, a side of sauteed sugar snap peas in a touch of butter is a scrumptious pairing.
