Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 salmon fillet skin on
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese finely shredded or ground
- 2 Tablespoon fresh dill or 1 Tablespoon dried dill
- 1 lemon zested then sliced
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the grill. Preheat your grill to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil the grill grates or use a non-stick grill mat to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Season. Prior to seasoning, check the salmon for any leftover pin bones and remove them. Next, season with salt and pepper.
- Grill. Place the salmon directly on the oiled grates or on the grilling mat, close the lid, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Make the lemon parmesan crust. While the salmon starts cooking, prepare your crust mixture. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, dill, and lemon zest. Stir with a fork. Carefully pour the mixture over the salmon and press on with your hands.
- Finish grilling. Close the lid and continue to cook for an additional 7-10 minutes or until the salmon flakes with a fork and the internal temperature reads 145 degrees F.
- Serve. Remove the salmon to a serving dish. Top with the sliced lemons and serve immediately. Enjoy!
