Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup panko (Japanese dried bread flakes)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons good olive oil
Four 6- to 8-ounce salmon fillets, skin on
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board. Generously brush the top of the fillets with mustard and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
  • Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon fillets or steaks for the best flavor and texture. Look for vibrant orange-pink color and firm flesh.
  • Use a Variety of Crushes: Experiment with different crusts to create unique flavor combinations. Breadcrumbs, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices are all great options. Get creative and try new things!
  • Don't Overcook the Salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 150°F (66°C) for medium.
  • Let the Salmon Rest: Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful fish.
  • Serve with Fresh Sides: Grilled or roasted vegetables, quinoa, and lemon wedges are all great accompaniments to crusted salmon. Experiment with different flavors and textures to create a well-rounded meal.

Conclusion:

Crusted salmon is a versatile and delicious dish that can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. With a variety of crust options and cooking methods, the possibilities are endless. So, grab your favorite salmon fillets, choose a crust that appeals to you, and start experimenting! Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, you're sure to create a dish that will impress your friends and family.
