- 1 tsp. honey
- 2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place salmon fillets on a prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of hummus (about a tablespoon each) over each fillet.
- In a small bowl, combine panko, parmesan cheese and thyme while in another bowl whisk together butter, Dijon and honey. Pour butter mixture over the panko and mix well. Evenly distribute the panko mixture on top of each salmon fillet, pressing firmly into the salmon.
