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.

HERB CRUSTED SALMON WITH MIXED GREENS SALAD
My word, was this good. We made it on Monday and I am still thinking about it. I am trying to eat more salmon, and this recipe, along with the one posted before, are both terrific. I can't say enough good things about this salad, and with all the herbs growing in my garden to use for it...it was wonderful.

Steps:
- Combine first seven ingredients in shallow dish; spray fish with cooking oil, both sides, sprinkle with salt, and dredge through mixture.
- Heat non-stick skillet to medium high heat, coat skillet with cooking spray. Add fish, cook three minutes one side. Reduce heat to medium, and carefully turn fish over; cook four minutes or until fish reaches desired level of doneness.
- In small bowl, whisk together lemon juice (about half the lemon from which you got your rind), olive oil, mustard, salt, and garlic. Mix together salad greens and onions (obviously, you don't have to use the spinach/romaine mixture, that is just what we did b/c it was what we had) in a large bowl; add dressing, toss to coat.
- Place salad on plate and top with salmon.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for salmon that is firm to the touch and has a bright, vibrant color.
- Use a variety of herbs in the crust. This will give the salmon a complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include parsley, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
- Press the crust onto the salmon firmly. This will help the herbs adhere to the fish and create a nice crust.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky. To check for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of the salmon. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is cooked.
- Serve the salmon immediately with the spinach salad. The salad is a great way to add some freshness and crunch to the dish.
Conclusion:
Herb-crusted salmon with spinach salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is flavorful and juicy, while the salad is light and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
