Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to catch any drips and to make cleanup easier. Place the salmon fillet on the foil-lined baking sheet.
-
Broil the Salmon: Position the baking sheet under the broiler. Broil the salmon for 8 minutes, allowing it to cook and start to turn a lovely shade of pink. The fish should be just cooked through at this stage, but not overdone.
-
Prepare the Topping: While the salmon is broiling, take a bowl and crush the potato chips until they resemble coarse crumbs. Combine the crushed potato chips with the bread crumbs and dried dill. Mix well to ensure the dill is evenly distributed throughout the crumb mixture.
-
Add the Crunchy Topping: After the initial 8 minutes of broiling, remove the salmon from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the potato chip mixture over the top of the salmon, pressing it down gently to help it adhere.
-
Final Broil: Return the baking sheet to the broiler and continue to broil for an additional 1 minute, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
-
Serve: Carefully slide the salmon off the foil and onto your favorite serving plate. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy this delectable combination of crispy potato chips and tender salmon.
This Potato Chip Salmon is a wonderfully simple yet impressive dish that showcases how everyday ingredients can elevate a classic favorite. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, it’s sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
