Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 skinless or skin-on fresh salmon fillets, about 4–6 ounces each
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Honey Mustard Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth to create a sweet and tangy glaze.
  2. Coat the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush each fillet generously with the honey mustard glaze, ensuring full coverage to help the panko breadcrumbs stick and infuse flavor.
  3. Apply the Panko Crust: Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish, season lightly with salt and garlic powder. Press the glazed salmon fillets into the breadcrumbs, coating completely. For a thicker crust, dip the salmon twice.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the panko-crusted salmon crust side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until salmon flakes easily. Alternatively, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with an extra drizzle of honey mustard glaze or a squeeze of fresh lemon. The crust should be crisp and golden.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Panko: Fresh breadcrumbs ensure maximum crunchiness and prevent sogginess.
  • Dry the Salmon Well: Patting dry helps the glaze and crust adhere better.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook fillets with enough space to crisp evenly.
  • Use Medium Heat: Prevent burning the crust and allow salmon to cook through evenly.
  • Allow Resting Time: Let cooked salmon rest a few minutes to retain juiciness.
