- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (192 g)
- Difficulty: Medium

- Contains: fish
Ingredients
- 180 g Salmon, raw
- 1.5 g Salt
- 3 g Sugar, brown
- 2 g Dill, fresh
- 5 g Lemon juice
Method
- Butterfly the salmon fillet open and season both sides with the salt and brown sugar.
- Fasten the fillet, skin-side down, to a clean untreated wooden plank with small nails or skewers, splaying it open flat.
- Prop the plank at a slight angle beside a hot open fire or glowing embers so the fish cooks slowly in the radiant heat and woodsmoke for 30-40 minutes, without direct flame touching it.
- If you don't have a fire and plank, bake it instead on a lined tray at 160°C (320°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until it flakes easily.
- Scatter with the fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
