Panko-Crusted Salmon

Ryan made this for dinner the other night, along with the Green Bean Salad and it was very good. You can also use this recipe using other kinds of fish. Next I think we'll try it with halibut.

ingredients:

• 4 teaspoons olive oil
• 4 pieces, thickly cut boneless salmon
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons honey mustard or sweet-hot mustard
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Set salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine honey mustard and 1 teaspoon of the thyme. In another small bowl mix the panko with the remaining 1 teaspoon of thyme, 4 teaspoons of olive oil, parsley, and paprika. Add salt and pepper (a light sprinkle). Using a small spoon, spread hte mustard mixture on the salmon, top with the bread crumb mixture. Next roast the salmon for 12-14 minutes (test at 10) or until it is almost completely firm to the touch and flakes when poked with a fork.

Serves 4.
