Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 425.

2. In a small bowl, combine the panko, parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the mixture, tossing with a fork as you pour.

3. Place salmon fillets skin side down on a greased foil-lined baking sheet. Generously brush each fillet with Dijon mustard, then season with salt and pepper. Press enough of the panko mixture onto each fillet to completely cover the top.

4. Bake fillets for 15-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
