Categories     High Protein

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
kosher salt and fresh black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (6 -8 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
lemon wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a small bowl combine the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 t salt, and 1/2 t pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and stir until crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • Place salmon, skin side down, on a board. Brush the tops of the fillets with a generous amount of mustard and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press panko mixture thickly on each fillet. The mustard should help the panko adhere.
  • Heat vegetable oil over medium high heat in a 12 inch cast iron skillet, or a large ovenproof pan. When oil is very hot, add salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to hot oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until salmon is almost cooked and panko is browned. Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a bright pink color.
  • Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry before coating them in the panko breadcrumbs. This will help the breadcrumbs adhere to the fish and prevent them from falling off during cooking.
  • Season the panko breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will add flavor to the salmon and help it stand out.
  • Use a shallow dish to coat the salmon fillets in the panko breadcrumbs. This will make it easier to evenly coat the fish and prevent the breadcrumbs from falling off.
  • Heat the cooking oil over medium heat before adding the salmon fillets. This will help prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Cook the salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as this will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.

Conclusion:

Panko-crusted salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy coating and flaky fish, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give panko-crusted salmon a try!
