PANKO CRUSTED RECIPES RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help prevent the breading from sticking to the baking sheet.
• Set up 3 stations, I use pie plates for this.
• Station 1 - all purpose flour
• Station 2- mix together eggs and milk
• Station 3 - mix together panko bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt & pepper
• Dust pork chops with flour, shake off excess.
• Immediately dip into egg mixture.
• Next press into bread crumb mixture ensuring a good coating of bread crumbs.
• Heat olive oil to large frying pan.
• Brown the pork chops on medium heat just until golden brown on each side.
• Transfer to baking pan to finish cooking in the oven for thicker cut pork chops.
• Bake at 350º for 20-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
• If using thinner cut pork chops you can skip baking in the oven and just use the stovetop.
