I don’t even know where to begin. It’s creamy, crunchy, brine-y, salty, buttery, yet refreshing from the fresh dill. It hits every spot.

Can I make this GF?
Definitely! Substitute panko crumbs for either GF panko crumbs or toasted quinoa!
Can I make this ahead of time?
Of course! Make sure it is covered properly or in an airtight container. If you are making it the day prior, allow it some time to come up to room temperature a bit, ~15 minutes. The panko will start to absorb some of those flavors the longer it sits. Wait to garnish with additional panko crumbs until before serving.
