Ingredients

  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • quality olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain or Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon mayonnaise

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees and place an aluminum lined baking sheet in the oven. Pat salmon dry with paper towels, season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add panko and season with salt and pepper. Stir frequently until panko is golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely, then stir in thyme thoroughly.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine tarragon, mustard and mayonnaise.
  • Using a spoon, spread tarragon mixture evenly over each fillet. Sprinkle panko mixture evenly on top, pressing with your fingers to adhere.
  • Once oven reaches 500 degrees, remove rimmed baking sheet from oven, lower oven temperature to 325 degrees, and drizzle olive oil over baking sheet. Carefully place salmon onto it, skin-side down. Roast until the thickest part of the fillet registers to 125-degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 10-13 minutes.
