Description
A delicious salmon fillet marinated in garlic-butter and grilled on cedar planks, infused with lemon and dill for a fresh, savory dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 2 1/2 lbs salmon fillet
- 1/2 cup salted butter (melted)
- 1 1/2 to 2 tsp sea salt
- Ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 garlic cloves (pressed or grated)
- 1 large lemon (zest and juice)
- 1 tbsp capers (finely chopped)
- 1 bundle asparagus (about 15 to 20 spears)
- 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 to 2 cedar planks (pre-soaked)
Instructions
- Soak the cedar planks in water for at least an hour.
- Whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, pressed garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to prepare the marinade.
- Brush the marinade generously over the salmon fillet and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat your grill to medium-high and place the soaked cedar plank on the grill grates for 3-5 minutes until it begins to smoke.
- Place the marinated salmon on the cedar plank and close the lid, grilling for about 12-15 minutes.
- Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, grilling alongside salmon for 6-8 minutes.
Notes
Keep an eye on the grilling process; the thickness of your salmon will determine cooking time. If using a larger fillet, add a few extra minutes to ensure it’s fully cooked. Can be adapted for oven baking at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes.
