Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

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.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 cups panko
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
3 to 4 large eggs
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
8 (1-inch thick) skinless salmon fillets (about 3 pounds), preferably wild

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss panko, oil and 1 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring twice, until deep golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely. (Crush a few handfuls, to help crumbs adhere.) Stir in lemon zest and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Whisk 3 eggs in a pie plate (if you run low on egg at any point, whisk in the fourth egg). Place flour in a second pie plate, and panko in a third. Season all with salt and pepper. Pat fish dry; season. Dredge in flour, tapping off excess. Dip in eggs; coat with panko, patting to adhere.To Freeze and Bake Later: Lay fish in single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze 4 hours, then up to 1 month in resealable plastic bags. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Bake frozen fish on parchment lined sheets until fish is cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes.To Bake and Serve Immediately: Bake salmon on parchment lined sheets 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
