Wood-Fired Salmon Recipe




It’s finally beginning to feel like summer so now it’s time to crank up those brick ovens to full blast and have them cook your favorite dishes, old and new. Everyone thinks of pizza when you’re discussing how to cook with a brick oven, but there are enormous possibilities cooking whatever you desire in your own oven. We are going to discuss one of those possibilities today, as we introduce Wood-Fired Salmon.


For some delicious Wood-Fired Salmon you’re going to need the following ingredients and follow the instructions below:

Servings: 3-4 Portions

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cook Time: 8-10 Minutes


Ingredients

· 3-4 Pieces Atlantic Salmon (or other variety if preferred)

· 3 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) Enough to brush on both sides of the fish

· 1 Tbsp brown sugar

· 3-4 tsp Combined Spice Mix Your choice of salt, pepper, herbs, basil, shallots, or any favorite combination

· 1 small bunch Fresh Dill Chopped

· 1 lemon Cut into wedges


Instructions

1. Spread EVOO on both sides of the fish and place it gently on the pre-soaked tray, skin side down. Add your seasoning mix to the top of the fillet. Chef's note: Go light on the seasoning, remembering that the salmon is the star of the show and will be absorbing flavors from the wood smoke as well. (Chef's note: I don't really do the same seasoning twice -- it's all part of the creative process.)



2. I like a pretty hot fire, so set up with a good sized flame. A flame is a must for getting a nice, crisp crust. Just put the fish fairly close to the fire, rotating it until an even crust develops.



3. Move the fish away from the flames to a cooler spot in the oven (closer to the door) to roast until the internal temperature of the salmon is about 140°F. Cooking time is about 6-8 min total per inch of thickness, on average. However, keep an eye on it, because cooking times will vary depending on the heat of your oven and thickness of the fish.(Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.)



4. Remove the fish from the oven and rest it for a few minutes. Plate the fish, and garnish it with fresh-chopped dill. (Fresh dill was made for salmon!) Serve with some roasted veggies from your WFO to round out the meal!

Small outdoor kitchen with oven and grill Michael wanted to have an outdoor kitchen in his backyard. His wife, Jean, agreed and they set to planning. They got excited over finding the perfect outdoor oven , the right style for seating, they even looked meticulously for flora that would accentuate the stone they picked out. The day came when everything was finished and it was time for the inaugural use of the kitchen. Michael lit the grill and Jean started a fire in their oven so the kids could make wood-fired pizzas. Before long, Michael was coughing and his eyes were streaming with tears from the smoke. The kids were complaining that it was too hot to hang around because the sun was beating down on them. Jean was getting frustrated because the kids kept changing their minds about pizza toppings and she was walking to and from the house constantly, which was quite a hike. By the time the night was over, they were all exhausted, and they weren't sure that the outdoor kitchen wa
