Panko Crusted Salmon

This may not look incredible...but it was phenomenal.  Parent and kid approved!

Truly the picture does not do this justice.   I received this recipe from Allrecipes.com and had to try it.  I modified it of course to suit the ingredients that I had and the result was incredible.

Ingredients:  

1 large fillet of salmon from Costco, no skin, no bones (but would work with any salmon)

4 - 5 TBSP of butter

4 - 5 TBSP grainy mustard

4 - 5 TBSP honey 

Panko Bread Crumbs

Combine butter, mustard and honey together in a bowl...and you know me...amounts are never exact.  It's fly by the seat of your pants, and just add what you think feels right!   I may have added more mustard and honey than butter.  But I honestly cannot remember.  Coat the top of salmon with this mixture.  Sprinkle salmon with Panko Bread Crumbs (don'be be shy with those bread crumbs!).  For an aesthetically pleasing look, you can place some  round lemon slices right on top (about 3 - 4).    

Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (easy clean up!).    Bake at 375 for about 25 - 25 minutes. Check after 20 minutes.    If baking smaller sized fillets, you will need to reduce baking time.  

Accompaniments:  Serve with steamed green beans and Rice.
