Description

Salmon and cheese, you ask? Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it! Throw out the old rule about not combining fish and cheese and try this Dijon, Parmesan, and panko-crusted salmon. It’s served with a fabulous arugula salad topped with a Dijon, balsamic, and basil dressing you whip up yourself.

Halve grape tomatoes. Stem basil and reserve a few small leaves for garnish. Stack remaining leaves, roll into a long cylinder, and slice across length to create very thin strips. Peel and slice shallot into very thin rounds. Rinse salmon fillets, pat dry, and season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

Combine Parmesan, panko, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a small bowl.

Place salmon on prepared baking sheet and brush each top with 1 tsp. Dijon (reserve remaining for balsamic vinaigrette). Top with Parmesan-panko crust and place on top rack in oven. Bake until crust has browned and salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 12-15 minutes. While salmon bakes, prepare vinaigrette.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine remaining Dijon, balsamic vinegar, sugar, sliced basil (reserve leaves for garnish), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir, and whisk in 2 Tbsp. olive oil.

Place arugula, grape tomatoes, shallots (to taste), and in bowl with dressing and toss.

Place salad on plate. Serve salmon atop salad and garnish with reserved basil leaves.

Engaging. Instinctive. Curious.
