Ingredients




3/4 cup of plain panko crumbs
2 tbsp of fresh parsley, minced
Zest of one lemon
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 tsp olive oil
Sea salt and freshly
cracked pepper, to taste
4  salmon filets
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp canola oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation

1 Mix the panko crumbs with the parsley, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, sea salt and  pepper, . 2 Spoon  mustard on top of the salmon and spread evenly. 3 Season the fish with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. 4 Press the panko thickly on to of the mustard. 5 Heat the vegetable oil in an iron skillet 6 When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillet, skin side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin. 7 My salmon fillets did not have skin so I put them flat side down. 8 Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 15-20 minute or until an internal temperature of the thickest part of the salmon reads 125-130 degrees. 9 Remove from the oven and cover with a tin foil tent for 5-10 minutes. 10 Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.
