Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 1 cup Grated Romano cheese
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 unit Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Romano cheese, panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Step 3

Place the flour in a separate shallow dish. Crack the egg into another shallow dish, beat it lightly with a fork, and set both dishes next to the breadcrumb mixture for an easy assembly line.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Dredge each salmon fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip the fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press the salmon into the Romano-breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly on all sides.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the coated salmon fillets into the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
