Prep 15 min · Cook 20 min · Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 Salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Asparagus spears
• Salt
• Black pepper
• 0 Lemon wedges

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Pat salmon fillets dry. Lightly brush each fillet with olive oil, then dredge in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust.

Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon, skin-side down if applicable, in the skillet.

Sear for 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Flip the salmon and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve salmon immediately with roasted asparagus and lemon wedges.
