Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into 4 equal size portions
- Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup garlic scape pesto
- salt & pepper to taste
- lemon slices optional
- cedar planks, soaked in water optional
Instructions
- Bring salmon to room temperature while your fire is heating up.
- Rub both sides of fillets with olive oil. Then season with salt and pepper. Spoon a generous amount of garlic scape pesto on top of each filet.
- If using cedar plank, char one side of plank and turn over. Place salmon filet on the charred side and cook for about 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness of filet. Internal temperature should be 145°F according to USDA. We cook ours to 120-125° for medium to medium rare.
Notes
Don't overcook the salmon.
Always brush salmon with oil before grilling.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days.
Do not refreeze.
