Hi Elise,

This sounds simply divine! I love salmon, and I will definitely try this treatment next time around. Thanks!

I just did something very similar, following a Jacques Pepin recipe. The major difference was that I cooked it at 200 (F) for an hour. The breadcrumbs had some hazelnuts mixed in as well. It was absolutely delicious--and I'm not a huge salmon fan. My parents and kids, who are big fans, declared it the best ever.

I tried it, and it came out perfectly. It's simple, mild, moist, and very tasty.

We made this with both salmon and red snapper and the red snapper put the salmon to shame - so tasty! You have to give it a try!

Elise -- I just made this tonight; had some fresh Wild King salmon (don't even ASK how much it cost...) and this was quick, easy, and utilised stuff I had on hand in a pinch. Thanks for the great recipe!

I made this dish for a dinner party and it was a success! So easy and quick to make, too. Thank you for posting it. Love your website, the stories, photos, and of course, all the recipes!

I love using Panko! It gives lots of crunch without the occasional sogginess that comes from other dried bread crumbs. Love this recipe!

Hey Elise - or anyone else that might know - what is the best way to thaw frozen fish in a hurry? I forgot to take it from the freezer this morning, but I have some fresh-frozen Red Snapper at home.....
Any way I can make this dish tonight?

Darnit... its 8am and I am hungry for dinner NOW!
This looks awesome!

Thawing Frozen Fish. Make sure it is in Zip Lock bag.Fill a dish with tepid water(Just warm) and put fish in.If you can drain out water every half our and replace with more tepid water do so. This should thaw your fish in an hour or so.

My husband declared this a keeper. In fact he checked with me several times to make sure I saved this recipe. It is easy and delicious. The panko bread crumbs make such a difference.

The fastest method for thawing fish, or any other food, that I've found (courtesy of Alton Brown) is to leave it wrapped in plastic in a sink, with a very light trickle of cold water running over it. I've thawed a frozen solid chicken breast in less than half an hour this way.

I too like the way Panko breadcrumbs retain their crunchiness. Your combination of sweet and savory flavors must pair beautifully with the salmon.

Elise-- This is a great recipe, I made it for dinner last night and everybody loved it. I had a similar salmon at a restaurant once, It had mustard and a pankco crust, but it was served with sauteed tomatoes(a fresh tomato sauce) and calamata olives. Also very good... Thanks for the recipe...

I sometimes find salmon a bit rich. This crunchy topping would cut through that richness nicely I think.

Hi there,
I have been following your site for some time now and as a chef who cooks for billioniares and celebrities onboard their yachts I find it useful for recipes. Indeed I work for one of the top 10 richest in the world at the moment and just cooked this recipe for him! He loved it. However when he asked where I had learnt it from I had to lie and say it was one of my own!! Sorry! Feel free to steal any of mine from my video recipe site!! Keep up the good work!

Do you think this would taste good on a tuna steak? We have a freeezer full of yellow-fin and I need to find new recipes.

I would like to know where you buy the panko breadcrumbs ?
Thank you.

Just finished Sunday dinner featuring this recipe and it was a great success. Typically my wife enjoys salmon much more than I do, but this definitely gets my vote. Thanks.

(Frances, Trader Joe's carries panko if there is one by you.)

This sounds really good and helpful this time of year. I get tired of mac 'n cheese and pasta during lent. Thanks.

I love panko and salmon, it's one way for me to get Griffin to eat fish. This looks pretty close to what I make, I like adding ginger and lime juice to the coating.

What a great recipe, I will try to make the panko myself. It was great to hear your interview on CPR, and nice to associate a voice to a face!

I have made this recipe atleast 10 times now and it is awesome every time! I serve it with buttered steamed green beans and jasmine rice - even my kids love it!

I couldn't wait to get home and make this for dinner. It was so easy and delicious! I'll make this often.

Elise--

I absolutely love your website. As a relatively new cook, it's so nice to have found a site like yours that is full of interesting and flavorful recipes that inspire me to try them, but aren't hugely intimidating.

I've linked to you for awhile now, but have finally decided to write, as I made this salmon tonight and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Many thanks for the care you take in your site.

Cheers,

Poopycat

Oh Elise... we tried this recipe last night! It turned out great and also, it was the first time I had homemade panko! So easy, wow, thanks, what I like about your recipes is that we can actually make them!!!!

Absolutely the best salmon recipe I ever tried (and I've tried a lot). My 10 year old daughter helped with making this and she really loved it. She wanted it again the next day. I highly recommend this recipe.

Elise, I have looked everywhere for Hungarian, Sweet, and/or Smoked paprika. Not just for this recipe.
I cannot find anything but just plain old paprika. How much difference does it make, really? And do you know where I can find this stuff in Texas?

This is an absolutely delicious recipe for salmon. This was our first time using panko and are now avid fans. I love how they stay crunchy throughout the baking (and eating!) process. I will never use standard breadcrumbs ever again. we used Ian's and loved them. In making this a second time, I added some fresh lime juice - yummy combination with the mustard.

Thanks for your site, Elise. I fall in love with it each time I visit.

Elise,

I love this recipe. Thank you so much. It's my new "go to" salmon recipe. It works well with my "I don't want to go to the store" adaptations (I sub dried thyme a lot, though it tastes better with fresh) and is quick and easy while seeming pretty fancy. Excellent!

Tried this recipe this past weekend and it was amazing! The salmon was so moist and flavorful. We used dried herbs as we didn't have any fresh parsley on hand but it was still delicious and took barely any time at all to prepare!

Elise,
Panko bread is not available where I live- can you please suggest an alternative, that would not change the taste much?
Thanks!!

Note from Elise: Just use regular bread crumbs if you don't have access to panko. BTW, panko is not a type of bread, but a type of bread crumb. You won't find panko bread anywhere, but you might find packaged panko bread crumbs.

Thanks for your feedback Elise! I'm throughly impressed by your website - it's reached my 'e-cookbook hall of fame' sites :) Thanks for sharing these wonderful recipes with us!

This recipe is an absolute keeper! My husband and I truly enjoyed the salmon last night for V-Day...Thanks, Elise! Really appreciate your website. -- If I may say thanks to Panko and our oven toaster, too... ;)

Hi Elise...I have recently discovered your site, and I just had to comment on this salmon dish. It was really delicious, the fish stayed very moist just as you said. I didn't realize you were in the Sac area...I'm also in Carmichael and I enjoy reading your descriptions before each recipe. I can't wait to try many more! Thank you!

I made this fish and it was really tasty and not smelly like a port or marina like the last time I made it without panko flakes. Much easier to enjoy it when it doesn't stink up your entire building. I actually feared that my neighbor thought that the horrible smelly odor was my date Jennifer. MUY TASTY AMIGOS!
