Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the breadcrumbs and pignoli nuts on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Wash the salmon fillets. Pat dry, and brush with the Dijon mustard. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the salmon steaks, pressing to adhere to the fish. Heat the oil and butter in oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
