Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or tinfoil coated with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together panko, parsley or chives, mayonaise, dijon, lemon zest, 1 Tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir together until bread crumbs are completely moistened.
Lay salmon filets on baking sheet. Brush tops with a light coating of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spoon topping on top of each filet, covering entire top of filet, pressing crumbs down and together firmly on top of each filet so it holds together somewhat.
Bake salmon for about 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your filets. Bake until they flake easliy but are not dried out in the middle, rather are moist and opague. If using a thermometer, that should be around 125-130 degrees in the thickest part.
Remove from oven and let rest for 4-5 minutes.
Enjoy!
