We love the old-school feel of this skillet supper. If you can't find whole-wheat panko, sauté fresh whole-wheat crumbs until crisp.

My family wasn't crazy about the dill & lemon combination. It was an easy weeknight one dish meal, but I would skip the dill and add more mustard if I made it again.

It certainly isn't a bad recipe and my husband seemed to like it. My one critique is that it's lacking in flavor a bit... of course, I didn't season to taste but followed the recipe to the letter.
