Panko Crusted Honey Mustard Salmon

Hi loves! After the holiday weekend festivities it was time to get back on TRACK with our eating so I made this little lovely dinner last night. I can't say enough about the pure little taste of heaven each bite leaves in your mouth! If you are a salmon LOVER, definitely give it a try and let me know what you think. I can't believe it's back to work time! Have a fabulous week! XO

Ingredients:

4 - 6oz salmon fillets

1 1/2 Tbsp dijon mustard

1 1/2 Tbsp honey

1 clove minced garlic

3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs

2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp lemon zest

2 Tbsp olive oil

salt and freshly ground pepper

1 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray

2 - In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, honey & garlic. In a shallow dish toss together Panko bread crumbs, parsley & lemon zest. Drizzle olive oil over mixture then toss evenly to coat.

3 - Brush the top of each piece of salmon with the honey mustard mixture and season with salt & pepper (don't over do it with the salt & pepper because you will be doing both sides), then rotate and transfer to the bread crumb mixture (honey mustard side should be facing down), repeat the same process (honey mustard mixture and then bread crumbs) for the other side. Transfer to baking dish and repeat for the rest of the fillets. 

4 - Bake in preheated oven 13 - 15 minutes until salmon has cooked through. I served mine with roasted brussel sprouts and broccoli. Recipe for brussel sprouts is here. :)

Enjoy!!! XO
