    - ½ cup Greek yogurt (or vegan alternative)  
    - 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped  
    - 1 tbsp fresh chives, minced  
    - 1 tsp lemon juice  
    - 1 small garlic clove, grated  
    - Salt and pepper to taste  

    Seed-Crusted Salmon

    - 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on or off)
    - 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (or olive oil for binding)  
    - 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for subtle sweetness)  
    - Olive oil (for cooking)  
    - Lemon wedges (for serving)  

    Optional Sides:
    - Roasted asparagus or broccolini  
    - Quinoa or herbed couscous  

    Instructions

    1. Prep the Salmon:
       - Pat salmon fillets dry. Brush the top (skinless side) with Dijon mustard (or olive oil) and a drizzle of honey (if using).  

    2.  Coat the Salmon:
       - Press the mustard-coated side of each fillet into the F N Good Food Everything But The Bagel seasoning, ensuring an even, thick crust.

    4. Cook the Salmon:
       - Pan-Seared Method: 
         - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon crust-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden. Flip carefully and cook skin-side down for 3–4 minutes until medium-rare.  

       - Oven-Baked Method:
         - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon, skin side down, on a parchment-lined tray. Bake for 12–15 minutes.  

    5. Make the Sauce:
       - Stir together yogurt, dill, chives, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.  

    6. Serve:
       - Plate salmon with a dollop of yogurt sauce, lemon wedges, and your chosen sides.

    Vegetarian
    Replace salmon with thick-cut halloumi slices or crispy tofu steaks. Coat and pan-fry using the same method.  

    Tips
    - Extra Crispy Crust: Add 1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs to the seed mix.  
    - Spice Boost: Add ½ tsp smoked paprika to the seed blend.  
    - Meal Prep: Prep the yogurt sauce ahead for quick assembly.  

    Serving Ideas
    - Grain Bowl: Flake salmon over quinoa with roasted veggies, avocado, and sauce.  
    - Salad Topper: Serve chilled over arugula with shaved fennel and radishes.  
    - Appetizer: Slice into bite-sized pieces and skewer with cucumber rounds.  

    This recipe transforms humble seeds into a show-stopping crust, while the yogurt sauce adds a refreshing counterpoint.
