Dilly Crusted Salmon
When you’re looking for an unbelievably easy meal to get on the table quickly, salmon is a perfect protein. We enjoy seafood, but since we don’t live in an area where wild-caught seafood is readily available, we do our best to purchase sustainably-sourced frozen seafood when we can. We’ve paired these wild-caught fillets with the classic flavors of lemon and dill. To add another layer of flavor and texture, we’ve topped the salmon with crunchy, freshly seasoned pork panko. Since the salmon bakes so quickly, you’ll have just enough time to prepare a side like our Simple and Quick Wedge Salad. Dinner is ready in a jiffy!
