Planked Salmon with Feta
Crust
Topping: feta cheese, olive oil, lemon pepper, dill weed,
garlic (finely chopped, or powder). Mix thoroughly,
to the consistency of a lumpy paste. Spread about
1/4" thick on the flesh side of the salmon fillet.
Cover and refrigerate for several hours. About the
time you begin preheating the grill, remove fish from refrigerator
and allow it to come to room temperature. Place skin-side
down on soaked, already-smoking cedar plank, and cook
as slowly as possible, lid down as much as possible.
When the feta cheese is browned a little on top,
the salmon should be nicely cooked, still a little translucent
in the center. The feta's original strong smell will
be replaced with a savory smoky sweetness.
