Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and drizzle with lemon juice. Season each fillet with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, parsley, dill, Parmesan cheese, and panko breadcrumbs.
Spray a grill-safe baking sheet or fish tray with non-stick cooking spray and place the salmon fillets on it, skin-side down.
Evenly distribute the herb and cheese mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the baking sheet with the salmon on the grill and close the lid. Grill for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F and the topping is golden brown.
Carefully remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad and enjoy!
