For our Cooking with Astrology “Aries” main course, I knew that I wanted to make Rosemary and Panko Crusted Salmon. You may remember the photos of the Panko Crusted Cod that I tried last month, well this is my interpretation of that meal. Salmon and Rosemary are both good for the brain, so it was a no brainer…bah dump bump!

This photo is actually of the leftovers, so ignore the shriveled carrots. 😉  I ran out of daylight the night before.

See, pretty carrots! I set the table with spring green place mats with coordinating napkins, tealight candles, and a bright, pretty spring bouquet.

Aries is the sign of spring after all, and runs from March 20th through April 20th! New life, new beginnings. 🙂

I could not find any baby, or even small carrots….so I cut large carrots into quarters.

How to make Rosemary and Panko Crusted Salmon

Mix the carrots and asparagus* together with olive oil and salt and pepper.

Place on a foil lined baking sheet, and roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are starting to brown and the carrots are fork tender.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until panko is browned and crispy. To serve, place the roasted vegetables in the center of a plate. Top with salmon crusted fillet, and a lemon half on the side. Squeeze lemon over salmon right before serving.

To make the lemon halves fancy, use a sharp paring knife to cut wedges around the center of the lemon.

Try for 1 large W on each side, so you have 8 total…if that makes sense. Then twist to separate. Trim the bottom of the lemon so it sits flat on the plate. 

*An easy way to trim asparagus, is to gently bend the asparagus stem upward. The asparagus will break where the tough stalk meets the tender stem. 

I will be back tomorrow with Vegan Chocolate Walnut Fudge Ice Cream for dessert.

  1. We eat salmon at least once a week and am always looking for new ways to cook. This looks like a nice healthy meal with the fresh veggies and I can use the rosemary from my garden. Thanks for posting on Marvelous Mondays’
