Panko Crusted Salmon

salmon


This is not a new dish to my kitchen, but I finally was able to take a picture of what has become my favorite salmon recipe.  My favorite part is that is feels a bit fancy, but could not be easier to make. Panko breadcrumbs have such a great crunch and the herbs give it such fresh flavor.  Panko is a Japanese bread crumb that stays crunchy when regular bread crumbs can become soggy and gives you a good crunch without frying. This is such a great quick one.  

Thanks to my friend Mary for passing this one on!

From my little kitchen to yours... enjoy.

Panko Crusted Salmon
Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 pieces, thick boneless salmon fillets
1 tablespoon honey mustard
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 lemon wedges
Step by Step
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Set salmon on a foil lined baking sheet, skin side down.  Sprinkle heavily with salt and pepper.  In a small bowl, mix the rosemary, bread crumbs, parsley and paprika.  Spread a thin layer of honey mustard on each fillet.  Top salmon with a packed layer of the bread crumbs.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  

Roast the salmon for 10-14 minutes.  Test salmon to make sure it is firm all the way through and starts to flake when poked with a fork.  Squeeze lemon juice on each fillet and serve.

Makes 2 servings.

  2. This looks amazing! I have stayed away from salmon because we do not have a grill and that is the only way I had it growing up at home. But this is definitely something we will try! Thanks Little Kitchen!

  9. This was delicious. My kids are usually not salmon fans and they ate this right up. The herbs and panko bread crumbs are the perfect combo and I loved the lemon squeezed on top. It was such a fresh touch.
