Parmesan Salmon

INGREDIENTS
1/2 lb salmon steak per person
1 egg
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 cup white wine
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 Tablespoon melted butter
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 Tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS
1 - Mix Parmesan, bread crumbs, tarragon, & dill weed in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat egg. Dip each salmon steak in egg, then bread crumb mix coating all sides.
2 - In deep skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil over Medium-High heat. Brown salmon on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
3 - In the same skillet over medium heat, add wine, teriyaki, garlic, and butter. Cook & stir until garlic is tender.
4 - Add salmon back to skillet and continue cooking about 15 minutes.

THOUGHTS
The breading ingredient amounts above work for 2-4 salmon steaks. Serve over pasta with Mustard Aioli. Quite possibly the best salmon I've ever had.

1 teaspoon lemon juice
1-2 teaspoons honey
