Planked Salmon With Onion and Mustard Seed

Ingredients

• 1 cedar plank (alderwood is best, but recipezaar doesn't recognize it)
• 2 salmon fillets
• sea salt
• black pepper
• 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• lemon

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat grill to high. Soak plank(s). "Measure" your fillets to figure out if you need one or two planks to make sure the fish fits.

2. 2

   Season the flesh side of the fillets with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Mix up onion, garlic, mustard seeds, green onions, rosemary, vinegar, and olive oil in a small bowl.

4. 4

   Season the plank(s) with sea salt. Place the plank(s) on the grill and close the lid. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes until it begins to crackle and smoke.

5. 5

   Open the grill and lay the salmon fillets on the planks, flesh side up. Pat the onion mixture over the fillets (flesh side) to form a covering.

6. 6

   Close the lid and plank-cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure the plank isn't on fire. Use a spray bottle of water on the plank (not the fish) as needed.

7. 7

   Once the salmon is done, remove from grill and squeeze the lemon all over the fish.

8. 8

   I like to see this served still on the smoldering plank if eating outside.
