Steps:
- Pat salmon dry on both sides and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Make seasoning mix & season salmon. In small bowl, mix together the dry oregano, garlic powder and paprika. Season the flesh side of the fish with this spice mixture.
- Sear the Salmon. In a large cast iron skillet, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add one salmon fillet, skin-side down, and press the top with the back of a fish spatula for about 10 seconds (this prevents the skin from curling up.) Add the remaining salmon fillets, one at a time, pressing each with the spatula for 10 seconds. Cook for about 4 minutes. If skin resists lifting (or if it's sticking to the pan), allow the fish to cook for a little bit longer until you are able to lift up easily (no more than 6 minutes in total). Using the spatula and a fork to assist in flipping, flip the fish to the flesh side to cook for about 15 seconds or so. ( Salmon is ready when it registers 110°F (43°C) in the very center for rare, 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, or 130°F (54°C) for medium, 5 to 7 minutes total.)
- Remove salmon from heat and immediately add lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Make arugula salad. In a bowl, add the baby arugula. Season with salt and add juice of ½ lemon and extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
- Serve salmon with arugula salad (or any of the sides or salads suggested in the post). Enjoy!

PANKO-CRUSTED SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix together the panko, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Set aside.
- Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board. Generously brush the top of the fillets with mustard and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
- Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
- Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillets. Look for fillets that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of fat. This will help ensure that the salmon stays moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Use a good quality granola. The granola you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the salmon, so choose one that you like. Look for a granola that is made with whole grain oats, nuts, and seeds.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough, so it's best to err on the side of caution and cook it for a few minutes less than you think you need to.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it's cooked, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
Granola-crusted salmon is a simple and delicious way to prepare salmon. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The granola crust adds a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor to the salmon, and it also helps to keep the salmon moist and flavorful. If you're looking for a new way to cook salmon, give this recipe a try.
