Ingredients

  • 4 (5-6 oz) salmon filets 
  • 1/4 cup Hemp & Co Hemp Hearts 
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp. dried dill 
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder 
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil 
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice 
  • Lemon slices, for serving 
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste 

 

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Add salmon skin side down and rub a little olive oil over each filet.
  3. Combine Hemp Hearts, grated cheese, dill, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover the top of each filet with the Hemp Heart and cheese mixture and press down with your hands to help the mixture stick.
  4. Place salmon in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. You can also grill the salmon for the last two minutes to get a brown and crisp crust. Just be sure to use foil instead of parchment if you're going to grill. Serve salmon with a slice of lemon, salt and pepper.
