Do you cook? Now I'm not usually known for my cooking skills. I'm really good at cleaning- which kills my timing for cooking because I just can't stand a mess! I'll be chopping garlic, then a couple bits fall on the floor, then I'm down on the floor cleaning, and since I'm down there, might as well wipe the baseboards clean.....

Not this time! I'm pretty darn proud of this super easy, and healthy dish! I was craving some salmon and some panko crumbs (yum!), so I looked up some recipes. I combined 4 different recipes, and then I headed to the store. What you'll need:

- 1.5 lbs of salmon
- fresh parsley and dill
- 2/3 cup Panko crumbs
- 2 limes
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- salt & pepper
- I cheated and added 1/4 cup of Italian bread crumbs for more flavor, and plus I already had some in my pantry!

• Prehead oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix lime juice and mustard in a separate bowl. Cut the salmon into ~6oz pieces, and let them soak in the lime juice mixture.
• Mix dry goods: panko crumbs, Italian bread crumbs, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, pepper, and add in about 2 tbsp of olive oil. Mix well!
• Grease the pan, and slightly coat it with salt and pepper.
• Lay out each salmon piece on the baking pan
• Scoop generous portions on top of each salmon piece- distribute evenly
• Bake for 12 minutes, or until the panko crumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is flaky.
• Eat! :)
  

The dinner display! (trust me, this is not how I do it everyday)

I accompanied the meal with a delicious spinach salad with fresh carrots
and tomatoes with our favorite ginger dressing.

And for the vegetable side, I just sauteed some fresh
green beans with garlic, salt, and pepper!
