Norwegian Plank Salmon

12/15/2014

Christmas is fast approaching and we all are looking for something different to serve our guests.

In Norway, juletid (Christmas time) is a celebration of traditions and family in Norway. Norwegians enjoy rich food and share julefryd (Christmas cheer) with friends and family. One of the Norwegian traditions is to serve salmon on Christmas Eve. Why not try this plank salmon that Tove makes for Christmas Eve for her family? Have a little bit of Norway in your Christmas!

Plank Salmon

Purchase your salmon filets (one large feeds about 6 people) and cedar planks (available at Home Depot, Canadian Tire – the planks that is).

REMEMBER to soak the planks in water for at least one hour, overnight is better (so they don’t catch fire on the BBQ).

Preheat grill to medium heat or may be cooked in preheated 400 F oven.

Season salmon with salt and pepper.

Lightly spray wooden plank with cooking spray if skin is removed.

Carefully place seasoned filets on soaked wooden plank.

Place plank in centre of grill, close lid and cook for 15 – 20 minutes.

Serving Suggestions:

May serve rosemary sprig directly on plank and cover with salmon.

May rub salmon with lemon, garlic and olive oil mixture.

May season salmon with Cajun fish seasoning.
May be cooked on grilling planks made from woods such as cedar, alder, maple or oak.

Tove just seasons her salmon with salt and pepper but feel free to try one of the serving suggestions listed above.

Enjoy!
