  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

So, I decided to step up the recipe a tad; hope ye enjoy it as much as I do!

INGREDIENTS

* 24x8x1 inch untreated cedar plank (red cedar; no need to tear a humi apart)
* 6 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
* 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
* 1 large red onion, chopped
* 1 lemon, sliced
* 1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed

DIRECTIONS

1. Submerge untreated cedar plank in water. Soak approximately 12 hours, or overnight.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Place prepared plank on the grill, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Cover grill and heat plank 2 to 3 minutes, until dry. Adjust grill temperature for medium heat.
3. Rub salmon filets with olive oil. Arrange on the plank. Top salmon with red onion, lemon slices and black peppercorns.
4. Cook salmon, covered, 10 to 12 minutes, or until opaque and easily flaked with a fork.

Serve it with some lemon slices on top and a neat glass of Chardonnay to impress yer woman. It should look like this:
