Salt Crusted Lemon Dill Cod Fillets Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except cod in a large resealable plastic bag and mix. Add cod. Seal and marinate in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Remove fish from bag: discard marinade. Place fish on a broiler pan or grill pan coated with cooking spray. Broil or grill for 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly coat with about 1 teaspoon butter.
• Lay fish in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup butter, mayonnaise, green onion, lemon juice, dill, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce together in a bowl.
• Broil fish in the preheated oven until it flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Gently spread Parmesan cheese mixture over fish; return to oven and broil until topping is bubbling and lightly browned, about 2 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour the containers of Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt into a large mixing bowl. Add egg whites. Mix well with your hands or by blending with two spoons until the texture resembles moist sand.
• 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.
• Rub the fish fillets with olive oil on both sides, and season well with Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt and pepper.
• Arrange the fish fillets on top of the lemon slices, making sure no edges touch the salt base.
• Arrange the dill on top so that it covers the fish completely, reserving a few sprigs to chop for garnish. Again, this will serve as a barrier against the salt crust since there is no skin to protect it from absorbing too much salt during baking, as well as give it a bold, tangy flavor.
• Pour the rest of the salt mixture evenly onto 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.
• Let fish rest for 5 minutes, then crack sides of salt crust with a strong knife before prying open.
• Cut each fillet in half. Serve with remaining lemon slices and fresh, chopped dill.
