Plank-Grilled Salmon with Strawberry & Green Olive Tapenade
Ingredients
Serves 4
1 cedar plank, for grilling (about 17 in/43 cm)
¾ cup (175 ml) diced fresh strawberries
⅓ cup (75 ml) chopped pitted green olives
¼ cup (60 ml) thinly sliced green onions
¼ cup (60 ml) chopped fresh flat leaf parsley leaves
2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp (30 ml) red wine vinegar
2 tsp (10 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 x 6 oz (170 g) skin-on salmon fillets
1 tbsp (15 ml) grapeseed oil
Instructions
- 1 to 2 hours before cooking, submerge cedar plank in water. When ready to cook, preheat grill to medium.
- To make tapenade, in a medium bowl, mix together strawberries, olives, green onions, parsley, chives, vinegar, soy sauce and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Place cedar plank on grill. Coat salmon in grapeseed oil and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon skin-side down in a single layer on cedar plank. Cover and grill until salmon is uniformly pink in centre, about 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness of salmon.
- Transfer plank to a heatproof serving platter and spoon tapenade over salmon. Serve immediately.
