Roasted Clams with Lemony Panko
Serve up this sampler from the sea.

It doesn’t take much to bring out the best in these bivalves—lemon, garlic, a splash of wine and crispy, parsley-flecked panko to sprinkle on top. The panko and the clams go into the oven at the same time, meaning you can get the dish to the table in under half an hour.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup
panko
- 4 Tbsp.
olive oil, divided
- 4
cloves garlic, finely grated and divided
Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup
dry white wine
- 1/2 tsp.
red pepper flakes
- 3
dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 1/3 cup
flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 Tbsp.
lemon zest plus 3 Tbsp lemon juice
Directions
- Step 1Heat oven to 400°F. On small rimmed baking sheet, massage together panko, 2 tablespoons olive oil, one-fourth of garlic, and a pinch of salt.
- Step 2In 9- by 13-inch baking dish, mix wine, red pepper flakes, remaining garlic, and 1 tablespoon oil with clams.
- Step 3Transfer both pans to oven; bake, tossing panko once, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove panko, increase oven temperature to 475°F and roast until clams open, 8 to 10 minutes; discard any unopened clams. Toss panko with parsley and lemon zest. Pour lemon juice over clams, drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil and sprinkle with half of lemony panko. Serve with remaining panko.
