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!
