For the Salmon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • In a small bowl, mix together panko, parsley, 2 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Pat fillets with a paper towel and place them skin side down in a greased skillet or pan (1 tablespoon of olive oil). Season salmon with salt and pepper. Then, spoon mustard over each piece of fish.
  • Press the panko mixture on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. 
  • Sear salmon for 3 minutes over medium high heat, without turning. Then, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked and the panko is browned. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to use seasonings other than salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Patting the salmon fillets with a paper towel will help absorb excess moisture so fish will roast rather than steam.
  • Avoid placing the salmon too close together, so the hot air in the oven can circulate between each fillet.
  • Buy fillets uniform in size so they cook evenly.
  • To store: Put leftover panko salmon into an airtight glass container and keep for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: Rewarm leftovers in the microwave or oven. 
  • To freeze: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag once the salmon fillets have reached room temperature. Freeze for up to 4 months.
