INGREDIENTS:
- 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 (6 to 8 oz.) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Lemon wedges (for serving) (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, combine panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Evenly drizzle the mixture with olive oil, and then stir until all of the bread crumbs are coated.
- Rub the tops of each salmon fillet with mustard, evenly coating each one. Then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture on to the tops of each salmon fillet evenly.
- In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon, skin side down. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, until the skin is brown. Don’t move or turn the fish.
- Place the skillet with the fish in the oven for 6-8 minutes, until the fish is cooked and the panko topping is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cover the fish with aluminum foil, allowing the fish to rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve fish warm (or at room temperature) with lemon wedges.
