Don't get super excited that I am adding a recipe...it probably isn't the start of something. I truly made this last night and of ALL the hundreds of salmon recipes I have tried...this tops them all!!!
Ingredients:
Preheat over to 400 degrees
1 lb salmon fillet
2/3 cups panko breadcrumbs
1-1/2 tbl lemon zest
1 tbl fresh grated ginger
1/4 tsp herbs de provence
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbl olive oil
2 tbl Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to season
canola oil
lemon garnish
Combine panko, lemon zest, ginger, herbs de provence, salt, pepper and olive oil in a bowl. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and spread the mustard on top in an even layer. Spoon the panko mixture on top of the salmon.
In a saute pan at medium high heat, add 2 tbl canola oil and add salmon skin side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until skin is crispy. Place saute pan directly into the over for 5-7 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fish) then turn the oven on low broil to crisp up the panko. Carefully watch the broiling step so the panko doesn't burn. I served this with sautéed zucchini and tomatoes.
Remove and serve with lemon!!!
SALMON PERFECTION!
ENJOY!
