Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup (2½ oz) panko Japanese dried bread flakes
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons good olive oil
  • 18 oz (500 g) or 4 salmon fillets skin on
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C.
  • Combine the panko, minced parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper, in a small bowl.
  • Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board.
  • Brush the top of the fillets with Dijon mustard and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Press the panko mixture onto the mustard-coated surface of each salmon fillet, allowing the mustard to help the panko adhere.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the salmon fillets to the hot skillet, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes without turning, until the skin is browned.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the salmon is almost cooked through and the panko is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature, accompanied by lemon wedges for added zest.

Notes

Pat the salmon fillets dry before brushing them with mustard to ensure better adherence of the panko crust.
For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving.
Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences by adding additional herbs or spices to the panko mixture.
