I'm pretty sure anything with Panko and maple syrup will be delicious. This was no exception!

Great salmon recipe. Used honey instead of maple syrup used half the amount, could have easily used less than that. Doubled the thyme and added quite a bit of salt and pepper. Dressing was great as written.
0 HelpfulThe salmon was way too sweet! Also we couldn't taste the thyme. I won't make it again but if I did I would only use 1 Tbs of maple syrup and double the thyme.
