Crispy Baked Salmon With Dill – Easy Kosher Recipe

Crispy baked salmon has a golden panko crust flavored with fresh dill, garlic and lemon zest over tender, flaky fish. It’s an easy dinner that looks impressive.

Getting a Crisp Crust

Mix the panko with olive oil, dill, garlic and lemon zest so it toasts evenly. Pat the fillets dry, brush them with a little oil, and press the crumb mixture firmly on top. Choose fillets of similar thickness so they finish together, and add 2 to 3 minutes for fillets thicker than an inch. A squeeze of lemon juice before serving brightens the dish.

Kosher Notes

Salmon has fins and scales and is kosher, and this dish is pareve. Many people don’t eat fish together with meat, so at a meat meal serve it as its own course.

Make-Ahead and Leftovers

The crumb topping can be mixed up to 2 hours ahead. Leftover salmon keeps for 3 days and is good cold over a salad.

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, combine the toasted breadcrumbs, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, dill, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place on the prepared baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly among the salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere to the top and sides of each piece.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.

Notes

Choose salmon fillets that are similar in thickness for even cooking. If your fillets are thicker than 1 inch, add 2-3 minutes to the cooking time. The breadcrumb topping can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead and stored at room temperature. Leftover salmon keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
