salt-crusted lemon-dill cod fillets

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon diamond crystal® kosher salt

  • 2 bunches fresh dill

Recipe

    Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 45 mins

  • layer half of the prepared salt on the bottom of a glass 9x13-inch baking dish; pat down firmly. salt should be about 1/2-inch thick.
  • place the lemon slices edge to edge on top of the salt. you don't want the fish to actually touch the salt or it will absorb too much; the lemon slices will serve as a barrier and a flavor infuser. save extra lemon slices for serving and garnish.

  • pour the rest of the salt mixture evenly the dill, smoothing carefully. make sure all corners are covered; pat firmly to ensure a proper seal with no cracks.
  • place in middle rack of oven and bake for 15 minutes.
