Panko Crusted Salmon is an easy salmon recipe that’s so delicious and simple to make. Panko breadcrumbs are mixed with olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon zest, then spread on top of seasoned and Dijon-mustard coated salmon filets and baked. Just 6 ingredients and 20 minutes for a beautiful and easy salmon dinner!
Anything topped with toasty breadcrumbs and baked is a-okay in my book. I love making New England Baked Haddock (one of my most popular recipes for a good reason!) with a breadcrumb mixture. So I decided to do something similar with salmon.
This recipe is so easy and delicious it almost isn’t fair. It feels fancy and elegant and would be great to serve to guests for any occasion, but it’s easy and fast enough for a simple weeknight meal. It’s a perfect beginner recipe if you’re new to cooking, and a much appreciated no-fuss meal even for the experienced cook.
One thing I love about this recipe – the salmon is baked in a way that the skin easily separates from the fish, making it easy to serve without the skin. I love crispy salmon seared skin, but when it bakes, it comes out a bit soggy, so I opted to leave it behind in this case.
