Adapted from Seafood Twice A Week by Evie Hanson and Cindy Snyder, MPH, RD

Ingredients:

• (3) 8-oz salmon fillets, about 1-inch thickness
• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
• Juice from 1/2 lemon
• 1/4 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp margarine (we prefer Land O’ Lakes or Fleishmann’s)

Directions:

Cut salmon fillets into two portions along the bone. Combine the crumbs with lemon pepper seasoning, and roll the salmon pieces in the crumb mixture.

Combine the margarine, oil, lemon juice, and garlic in a nonstick skillet. Sauté salmon pieces about 8 – 10 minutes or until done.

Note: We prefer to use a combination of butter and oil when cooking fish but, to reduce the saturated fat and cholesterol, we are suggesting the margarine.
