This is the perfect meal to serve when there’s something to celebrate, and it couldn’t be easier. Cooking salmon on an Alder gourmet grilling plank is unique and just a little bit special. It’s a standout on any dining table.
You can bake it in the oven or cook the fish outdoors in a covered grill over high heat. Just keep a spray bottle of water close by in case of flare ups.
You’ll need:
- Alder wood gourmet grilling planks, soaked for at least an hour
- 6 salmon fillets, skin on
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
- fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp. pink and green peppercorns crushed
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Step 1:
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, dill, cranberries, salt and peppercorns. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Step 2:
Place salmon, skin side down on the alder plank. Spread butter mixture over salmon fillets.
Step 3:
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets) or until done.
