Crunchy Panko-Crusted Salmon
"From Ina Garten's How Easy Is That"
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 2⁄3 cup panko breadcrumbs, bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- kosher salt and fresh black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 (6 -8 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- lemon wedge, for serving
directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl combine the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 t salt, and 1/2 t pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and stir until crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
- Place salmon, skin side down, on a board. Brush the tops of the fillets with a generous amount of mustard and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press panko mixture thickly on each fillet. The mustard should help the panko adhere.
- Heat vegetable oil over medium high heat in a 12 inch cast iron skillet, or a large ovenproof pan. When oil is very hot, add salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer pan to hot oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until salmon is almost cooked and panko is browned. Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Absolutely great tasting salmon, & your recipe is very easy to prepare! The only thing I changed was to use lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag game] -
I also found this recipe on the Food Network while looking for healthy recipes to make in my new cast iron skillet. I made it just as directed and it was fantastic, the mustard gives it a great little zing! -
Very good. I didn't have Dijon so used 50/50 miracle whip and regular mustard. Too miracle whip-y. Used frozen salmon from Costco, thawed. No skin so I didn't sear it. Cooked about 10 minutes, then broiled a little to get the Panko browner. -
I found this recipe on Food Network (Barefoot Contessa). Absolutely loved it! Was going to post it, but found this is exactly the same. <br/><br/>When I decided to cook salmon, I knew that my husband and 2-out-of-three kids don't like it. But, knowing that it is good for them, I decided to try and find a recipe that might take the sting out of eating it. To my surprise, EVERYONE really like it. I am thrilled to have found a way to prepare it that they enjoy. My salmon didn't have skin, so I skipped the cooking in the pan part [saved calories not cooking it oil, too]. I didn't have dijon, so I used a deli mustard and mayo mix[added calories back in, oops]. I didn't have a lemon, so I put a little lemon oil in with the olive oil before I added it to the panko. It was WONDERFUL! -
Amazing recipe for salmon and very easy. The only change to the recipe we use is that we add 1/2 t. of kosher salt. Even my picky kids like this. Light and refreshing!
