Being rhythmically challenged (Lisa does the cadaver dance while I'm prone to whip out the Elaine Benes "little kicks"), we shudder at anything involving the phrase "two-step." That is, until now. Elegant and easy, this two-step crusted salmon, the ideal pairing of fish and dill, makes it effortless to keep perfect tempo.

serves 4
ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp coarse grain mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry with paper towel and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, dill, parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Place panko crumbs in a shallow dish. Spread mayonnaise mixture over fish, coat in panko, lightly pressing to adhere. Place on prepared baking sheet and drizzle each fillet with 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Bake 10 minutes, until the crumbs are golden and the fish is cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.
“If you are going to wrestle a bear, try to stay away from all fish oil products, you know. I mean it’s tough for me, because I love to rub myself with salmon oil every day - it’s a great conditioner for the hair, skin.”
