Panko-crusted Honey Mustard Salmon

Whoa! It has been far too long since my last blog post. I apologize for taking forever to come up with a new recipe. College has been quite hectic this past year, but I hope to have many more posts this summer and fall. I can't miss another fantastic season of mother nature's bounty! Look for a farmer's market post in the near future. Now, since it has been so long, I suppose I will dive right in.

Salmon is one of my favorite proteins. It has enough flavor to stand up to a bold bottle of wine, and there are very little flavor enhancements needed for salmon to truly shine. With that in mind, I decided to keep it simple with this salmon recipe. I added a little honey mustard for that fantastic tang that goes so well with fish and some thyme-infused panko bread crumbs for texture. In all, this is a very well-rounded dish. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do (preferably with a bottle of sauvignon blanc).
