Tzatziki Crusted Salmon with Panko
Description
Tzatziki Crusted Salmon involves spreading a thin layer of tzatziki on evenly portioned salmon fillets before topping them with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, butter, mustard powder, and honey. The crust provides a crisp, slightly sweet, and savory topping that contrasts the tender fish. The high oven temperature ensures the topping browns nicely without overcooking the salmon.
Preparation is straightforward, requiring assembly on a baking pan sprayed with non-stick oil. While the salmon bakes for about 17 minutes, complementary side dishes like roasted potatoes—seasoned with oil, garlic powder, and pepper—can be cooked simultaneously on a separate rack, simplifying meal prep. The salmon can be served hot or enjoyed cold the next day as a convenient lunch option.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb salmon fillet portioned into 4 pieces
- 5 tbsp tzatziki
- 1/3 cup panko
- 1/5 cup Parmesan Cheese skip if you want to cut down on calories
- 1/5 cup butter
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Heat your oven (my salmon's instructions states 450F)
- Slice up the salmon and place them on a baking pan (coated with non-sticking spray) and spread a thin layer of tzatziki on each fillet.
- In a small bowl, combine the panko, parmesan cheese, butter, mustard, and honey. Evenly spoon the panko mix onto the tzatziki on top of the salmon fillet.
- Bake for 17 minutes and either serve immediately or eat cold the next day for lunch.
- Optional: while the salmon is baking, you can either prep some carb or salad to go with it. I made roasted potatoes: cut up some potatoes into small pieces, coat with oil, garlic powder, and pepper then baked at the same time as the salmon on a different rack until golden brown.
