Lemon Panko-Crusted Salmon is a delightful and healthy dish known for its combination of crispy textures and zesty flavors.

  • Dredge each fillet in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs.
  • Coat the fillets with the panko mixture, pressing it gently to adhere.
  • Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the crust turns golden brown.
