Steps:
- For the salad: In a large bowl, mix together the vinegar, lemon juice and some salt and pepper with a whisk. Add the chickpeas, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and onions. Toss with a spoon to coat ingredients. Hold in the refrigerator until the salmon is prepared.
- For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon portions with the salt, white pepper and ginger. Dip the presentation side of the salmon in some flour, and shake off the excess. Then dip the same side of salmon in the egg wash. After the egg wash, dip the salmon in panko to finish the crust.
- In a saute pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil for 1 minute. Once the oil is warm, place the breaded side down in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 minutes. Once browned, flip and finish, 3 to 4 minutes. Then remove, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

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.
SALMON AND CHICKPEA SALAD OVER CHILLED MIRIN RICE

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon zest, garlic powder, and wasabi paste. Fold in salmon, chickpeas, celery and cilantro. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine rice and mirin. Toss to combine and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Place a large lettuce leaf on each plate. Divide rice among lettuce cups. Spoon salmon mixture over rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a piece of salmon that is about 1 inch thick and has a nice, even color. Avoid fillets that have any brown or gray spots.
- Make sure the salmon is cooked through. The best way to tell if salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out clean, the salmon is done.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store it, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Panko-Crusted Salmon and Corn-Chickpea Salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy salmon. The salmon is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, and the corn-chickpea salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
