Ingredients
- 1 frenched rack of lamb about 1.5 pounds
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the rack of lamb dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the lamb for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to form a paste.
