Cooking utensils

  • 1 Grill
  • 1 Cedar wood board (previously soaked for 1 hour)
  • 1 Small pot
  • 1 Barbecue tongs

Ingredients
  

For the salmon:

  • 2 Salmon fillets approx. 200 g each
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Cedar wood board

For the lemon-dill butter:

  • 100 g Butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest finely grated
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
 

Prepare the cedar board:

  • Soak the board in water for at least 1 hour to prevent it from burning on the grill.

Prepare the lemon-dill butter:

  • Melt the butter in a small pan, add the lemon juice, lemon zest and dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Prepare the salmon:

  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

Barbecue:

  • Preheat the barbecue to a medium heat. Place the soaked cedar wood board on the grill and heat until it starts to smoke slightly. Place the salmon fillets on the board, close the lid and grill for approx. 15-20 minutes until the salmon is cooked.

Serve:

  • Remove the salmon fillets from the grill, drizzle with the lemon-dill butter and serve immediately.

Recommended side dishes:

  • Grilled green asparagus with lemon zest - brings texture, freshness and green bitter notes as a contrast to the butter.
  • Baked potatoes with herb oil - rustic, aromatic, a perfect balance to the elegance of the fish.
  • Fennel salad with orange fillets - fruity, aniseed-like freshness that harmonizes wonderfully with the dill and Chardonnay.
