Simple Way to What Are Panko Crumbs

Panko-Parmesan Halibut

Panko bread crumbs need to remain totally white after drying process.

Recipe Summary Panko-Parmesan Halibut

This fast-and-easy dish was an instant success at my house, even in my fish-hesitant family. The panko crisps up beautifully, and the halibut is tender, moist, and delicately-flavored. This was inspired, in part, by several Weight Watchers® recipes; I don't know the calories or points exactly, but it's a very simple lean and low-calorie dinner. It pairs well with roasted or stuffed tomatoes (can cook at the same temperature!) and a salad. Serve with lemon wedges.

Ingredients | What Are Panko Crumbs

cooking spray

⅓ cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

⅓ cup Italian-style panko bread crumbs

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 (6 ounce) halibut fillets

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray an ovenproof wire rack with cooking spray, and place rack on the prepared baking sheet.

Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard together in a shallow bowl. Stir panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in another shallow dish.

Gently dip 1 fillet in yogurt mixture to coat completely; press fillet into bread crumbs. Place coated fillet on the wire rack on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining fillet.

Bake fillets in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 18 to 22 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Halibut can be awfully pricey; if seeking a cheaper option, any mild, lean, flaky white fish, such as flounder, sole, or tilapia, would probably do similarly well, though cooking times would vary for smaller fish.

The recipe is basic, and can adapt to other seasoning styles easily; try it with Herbes de Provence and fresh parsley mixed into plain panko, instead!

This works fine without a cooking rack, just don't coat the bottom of the fish.
