Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Ginger (grated)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 cup White wine
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your skillet over medium heat and prepare all the ingredients for easy access during cooking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in the third bowl.
Coat each salmon fillet by first dipping it in the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally pressing it into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet. Add the salmon fillets skin-side up and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes and red chili flakes. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and release juices.
Pour in the white wine and chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the honey and adjust salt to taste. Remove the sauce from heat and mix in freshly chopped basil leaves.
Plate the salmon fillets and spoon the cherry tomato ginger sauce over each portion. Serve immediately.
