It’s a Monday and the start of new work week. I was meant to be in Sydney for a meeting but decided to stay in Canberra and join by teleconference so I could handle a load of other work. Over my lunch break as I was enjoying a light smoked salmon and lettuce snack I pondered tonight’s Panko crusted baked salmon with quinoa rice and kale.
It’s been a few months since I’ve cooked with panko crumbs so my mouth was watering as this was cooking.

So this is how I cooked my Panko crusted baked salmon tonight. I like that I was able to incorporate healthful additions like quinoa and kale. The whole meal had a great combination of flavour and crunchy texture. I know some people have said they dislike kale, but when it’s wilted and cooked in a little oil in a nonstick frying pan it takes on the flavours of the other foods it’s cooked with. In this case the chili and capsicum.
If you make this Panko crusted baked salmon please let me know.
