    Hummus Crusted Salmon with Panko

    Let’s talk salmon. I am so picky when it comes to fish that for the longest time, I wouldn’t eat salmon unless I knew exactly how it was made and who made it. A lot of times in the past it’s been too fishy for my liking. However, salmon is a great source of omega 3-fatty acid, protein, b vitamin, and potassium so I try to make sure I fit it into my diet.

    Recently, I’ve been on a bit of a baking salmon kick. It’s just so simple and easy to make and it takes just a few seconds to pop into the oven and have dinner ready after work. This entire hummus crusted salmon recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make and is crispy but still healthy (and the side I served it with – lemony orzo is cooked on the stove top while the salmon is baking).

    The simple ingredients for this Hummus Crusted Salmon with Panko

    This hummus crusted salmon is literally just salmon and then coat of hummus on top and then a panko mix! It’s super simple.

    This picture shows 1 lb of salmon but I only use half a pound for this recipe. Stay tuned to see how I use the second half to keep things fresh!

    What to do with the leftovers for this hummus crusted salmon

    You know that fishy smell in the microwave? Well, that’s what happens when you microwave fish! Whatever I don’t finish for dinner, I pack in my little bento box and take it to work with me the next day. I eat it cold and if I need to microwave my side (if it’s not a leafy salad), I just microwave it separately! Sometimes I break up the cold salmon into pieces to mix in with my salad or I’ll just have it whole.

    After portioning the pound of salmon in half, I cut each of the 2 pieces in half. I find that get full after eating one, maybe one and a half of the cut up pieces and can’t finish their pre-portion sized. But I’ll be marking this as 2 servings instead of 4 as 2.5 seems confusing!

    Tips for Perfecting this Hummus Crusted Salmon with Panko

    • squeeze some lemon on this when your done to add an extra layer of flavour to the salmon
    • easily bring it to work the next day with this bento box so you can microwave elements of this dish separately
    • other ways to eat this: with an orzo, pea, corn, and white been salad

    Prep Time: 10 mins
    Cook Time: 17 mins
    Total Time: 30 mins
    Servings: 2 servings

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 lb salmon fillets, portioned into 4 pieces
    • 5 tbsp hummus
    • 1/3 cup panko
    • 1/5 cup parmesan cheese, skip if you want to cut down on calories
    • 1/5 cup butter
    • 1 tsp mustard powder
    • 1 tbsp honey

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat your oven (my salmon's instructions states 450F)
    • Slice up the salmon and place them on a baking pan (coated with non-sticking spray) and spread a thin layer of hummus on each fillet.
    • In a small bowl, combine the panko, parmesan cheese, butter, mustard, and honey. Evenly spoon the panko mix onto the hummus on top of the salmon fillet.
    • Bake for 17 minutes and either serve immediately or eat cold the next day for lunch.
    • Optional: while the salmon is baking, you can either prep some carb or salad to go with it. I made orzo, 1:2 orzo:water with some lemon juice.

      We eat salmon regularly in our dinner rotation, and I’ve never thought to top it with hummus – what a fantastic idea! It must create the perfect creamy base against those crispy Panko breadcrumbs. We’ll definitely be trying this during the week when we visit the seafood market again!
