Panko Crusted Baked Salmon
Panko Crusted Baked Salmon

Use salmon fillets or steaks with this Panko Crusted Baked Salmon Recipe. Brush the salmon with honey mustard and coat in panko for an easy salmon dinner.

Panko is a Japanese breadcrumb that is particularly fluffy and crunchy and is popular with chefs because it doesn’t get soggy.

Some honey mustard spread on top of the fillets provides the “glue” that will hold the spiced panko to the fillets.

The result? Salmon that’s perfectly tender, flaky and seasoned. And it takes less than 30 minutes to make!

This recipe came from my friend and neighbor Evie Lieb, who is a pastry chef, baker and cooking teacher. This is one of her favorite recipes that she shared with a cooking class I took.

How to reheat breaded salmon

This dish is best eaten immediately, but leftovers can be tightly sealed and stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.

Place the salmon on a baking sheet, cover with foil to prevent drying out, and heat in the oven or toaster at 300°F until just heated through.
