Another keeper. (This is in Volume II of 29 Minutes to Dinner)

Easy to make, tasted yummy, and loved the presentation. This is the first time I've cooked with panko bread crumbs and they are now going to be a staple in my pantry. (They are made from japanese bread and are much much lighter and crunchier than our standard bread crumbs.)

We were out of balsamic vinegar, so I didn't make the vinegrette .

These are the ONLY thing I use for breading anymore! They make super homemade chicken strips...and I coat my potato pancakes with them so they are super crispy outside! I :love::love::love: panko bread crumbs!

I love Panko bread crumbs too! I use them for just about anything that I need to bread. They are wonderful for fish - and have a much more delicate flavor than regular bread crumbs, so they don't overpower milder fish.
 
Recipe PLEEEEEEESEEE!
