Elevate your average salmon fillet with a flavorful crust made from panko, herbs, brown sugar, and spices.
It's all made one pan, so clean up is minimal. We also found using salmon with skin-on adds more flavor from the natural oils helping create a sauce at the bottom on the pan—it's quite delicious. You won't believe how flavorful this salmon is!
Eat Well.
