INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (for juice and zest)
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a shallow bowl, combine whole wheat panko breadcrumbs, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, and lemon zest.
Drizzle the salmon with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and press the breadcrumb-herb mixture onto the top surface of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, crust side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
During the last minute of cooking, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the salmon to add brightness to the dish.
Remove from heat, plate, and serve immediately.
