Cedar Plank Salmon
Serves 4
Ingredients
| 1 | salmon fillet, about 1 1/2 lbs. (750 g) | 1 |
| 60 ml | olive oil | 1⁄4 cup |
| 1 | lemon or orange, juice and zest | 1 |
| 15 ml | chopped fresh basil | 1 tbsp. |
| 2 ml | salt | 1/2 tsp. |
| 5 ml | freshly ground black pepper | 1 tsp. |
Directions
In Oven:
| 1 | Marinate the salmon in remaining ingredients. Meanwhile, soak a piece of untreated cedar plank in cold water for about 2 hours (weighting it with something heavy), then place in a 450F/220C heated oven for 5-10 minutes. |
| 2 | Remove the salmon from the marinade and bake on the plank until cooked, allowing about 10 minutes per inch (2.5 cm) thickness of fish. |
On Barbecue:
| 1 | Soak the plank as above. Place salmon on plank. Put the plank directly on the barbecue grill. Close the lid and cook over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes. |
