What is Panko you may ask? It's basically a variety of flaky bread crumbs used in Japanese cuisine as a crunchy coating for fried food, such as tonkatsu and tempura.

For the past few nights, we have been having pork and beef and I guess it was time for us to have fish for a change. I'm very thankful that Raul can eat anything. He is not afraid to try different food, even though his favorite is monggo soup with tinapa.

I only had about 30 minutes to cook because I had work today, and Raul was going to be home in a few minutes. So I had to make something that didn't involve too much chopping and peeling. So I came up with this dish that I have cooked with pork chops before, but instead of chops, I used Salmon.

Impress your friends when you serve this dish! They'll think that you spent hours making it! (Read On by clicking Read More -->)
