Grilled Flower & Herb Salmon

from Flower Power Mascarpone Salmon with Lime Sweet Potatoes, the Week of June 17, 2012.
View the next recipe for this meal.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest I have been cooking on Cedar Planks for many years, but their increasing popularity and availability has made them an easy go to for grilling fish. The plank provides a hint of smoky flavor, but even better the plank makes it easy to grill the fish without worrying about it sliding through the grills or getting stuck. For the flowers, use a variety of colors of pansies, nasturtiums, violets, chive blossoms and marigold petals. Just be sure they are grown organically or at least not sprayed with any inedible chemicals. This recipe is inspired by Jesse Ziff Cool’s Herb & Flower Halibut from Simply Organic.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces salmon, wild, fillet
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs
  • 2 tablespoons edible flowers, minced

Preparation Instructions

Soak the cedar planks for at least 30 minutes. This will help reduce the possibility of the plank burning and searing.

Heat the grill over high heat. Place the plank on the grill and top with the salmon. Sprinkle generously with the salt, pepper, fresh herbs and edible flowers.

Grill the salmon for 8-12 minutes until the salmon is just barely firm to the touch but not quite hard.
