This panko salmon always gets great reviews from our community thanks to its crunchy topping with a sweet and savory mix of flavors. Pair it with a fresh spinach and pear salad topped with honey lemon vinaigrette.
Pine nuts - You can leave the pine nuts raw for the salad or, if you prefer you can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden, ~4 minutes. If you are going to make the steak salad on Wednesday, toast pine nuts for that dish at the same time. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Salmon - Divide fish up into number of servings you're making. Rinse and dry fish. Lightly salt and pepper.
Crust - Chop parsley. Melt butter in the microwave (~1 minute should do). Mix butter with Dijon, maple syrup, soy sauce, panko, and parsley. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Pears - Slice.

Doing the Whole30 so subbed balsamic for the maple syrup in both the crust and the salad. Reduced the mustard a bit. Delicious! Crust got a little dark on top so would put it in center rack next time instead of top. Also subbed slivered almonds for the pine nuts. Don't skip the toasting in the pan - yum!
