Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the 1 rack of lamb dry and season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the lamb fat-side down until deeply browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and sear 2 minutes more.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the lamb with 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, then press 0.5 cup panko mixed with 2 tbsp chopped herbs onto the top.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer skillet to oven and roast until internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, about 12-15 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Toss 2 cups mixed greens with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Slice lamb between bones and serve over greens, garnished with berries if desired.
