Recommended ingredients:
(All ingredients are based on 2 person servings)
1 Wood Plank
2 Servings Fish Fillets
3 to 4 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 table spoon of Coarse Salt
Any of your favourite spices
Let’s get started…
First obtain a cedar or alder plank from any large grocery store fish department
Then soak plank in water for approximately 24 hrs. Plank must be submerged during soaking.
Then apply a thin coat of Olive Oil to the finished side of the plank
Apply a thin coat of coarse salt onto the olive oil
Place fish fillet skin down on the plank
Brush a light coat of olive oil on the exposed meat
Add an assortment of your favourite spices to the top of the exposed fish. Your guide recommends Montreal Steak Spice, a little garlic and dill.
Then place your plank on barbecue grill (medium/low heat)
Cook until the top of the fish is golden brown and serve on the wood plank
Note - don’t be alarmed at the large quantity of smoke that your plank produces during cooking. Watch the board while cooking, if the board catches on fire just spray with water and turn barbeque heat down.
