Amaretto Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb salmon (can be whole piece or filets)
    2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
    salt and pepper
    1/4 cup unsalted butter
    1 fluid ounce Amaretto
Preparation
    Wash salmon and pat dry.
    Place skin side down on foil lined baking sheet.
    Season with salt and pepper, cover with a thin layer of dijon mustard.
    Sprinkle bread crumbers over salmon.
    Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes depending upon thickness of salmon.
    When it is almost done, turn oven to broil, move salmon up and broil for 5 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
    Remove from oven. Salmon should easily release from skin. Place on plates.
    While salmon is broiling, melt butter in a small saucepan.
    Add amaretto.
    Cook for one minute.
    Pour over salmon.
    I usually serve this with herb buttered noodles but it would also be really good with a nice rice pilaf.
