Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Cut ciabatta into 1-inch cubes. Dice tomatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice cucumbers into rounds. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Roughly chop mint.
In a large bowl, toss together ciabatta cubes, 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.
Spread out on a baking sheet in a single layer; bake on middle rack until ciabatta is toasted, 8-10 minutes. Reserve bowl for next step.
Meanwhile, in same bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, shallot, dressing, balsamic glaze, 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4), salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Set aside.
Evenly spread tops of salmon with a layer of mustard. Mound tops with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
Once croutons have baked, remove sheet from oven; transfer croutons to bowl with dressing and vegetables. Carefully add salmon to sheet, skin sides down. Return to middle rack and roast until salmon is golden brown and cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine panko, half the mint, half the feta (crumble any larger pieces with your hands), a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Pat salmon* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Drizzle skin sides with oil; rub to coat. Place, skin sides down, on a plate.
