The fennel panko crust elevates plain baked salmon to new heights. Even better, this is a one pan dinner since the broccoli roasts at the same time.

The busy school year has kicked off so I have come up with a collection of easy and deliciously healthy recipes.

The key to this recipe is the toasted fennel, cumin panko crumb mixture on top of fresh salmon. A thin coat of sweet and tangy honey mustard is spread on the salmon before the herb crumb mixture is put on top.

The added bonus is that broccoli is roasted with the salmon at the same time so everything is finished cooking at the same time. I lined the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup too.

The key to one pan roasted dinners is to make sure both the protein and vegetables finish cooking at the same time. I left the salmon in one piece instead of cutting it into portions because I wanted it to finish cooking when the broccoli would be ready ~ 20 minutes.

The result: moist, tender roast salmon with a fennel scented crust, served with beautifully roasted broccoli.
