This is a nice dish. Classy even. And who doesn’t like panko? (my spell checker that’s who.)

- Using a knife, spread herb business on each filet

Props
This was originally based on a recipe from cooks illustrated. It’s morphed a bit over the years (i like panko and thyme more than they do) but they deserve a shout out.
Notes
Don’t put the panko on too thick. Less is more.
