BBQ rub
- 1 part salt
- ½ part paprika powder
- ¼ part ground black pepper
- ¼ part onion powder
- ⅛ part garlic powder
- ½ part dried dill
- ¼ part thyme powder
The crust
- 100 gram Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp pine nuts
- 50 gram breadcrumbs
- 1 whole egg
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 2 piece anchovies
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Fish rub
The sauce
- 3 piece shallots
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- 75 gram clarified butter
- 1 tbsp green peppercorn
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Lay one of the fillets on the cedar plank. Mix the ingredients for the rub and season the fillets with a light layer.
- Fry the pancetta in a hot pan until you see it curl up. Let it cool down.
- Slice the lemon into thin rings and take off the peel.
- Spread the cream cheese on one of the fillets and divide the pancetta, lemon and lemon balm. Place the other salmon fillet on top.
- Put all the ingredients for the crust in the kitchen machine and mix it to a smooth and thick paste.
- Spread the crust mix on the stuffed salmon to make a thick layer.
- Set your grill on a direct heat of 140ºC/284°F and place the cedar plank on the grates with the thickest part of the salmon toward the hottest spot in your grill. Close the lid and let it cook.
- In the meantime, you can make the sauce by dicing the shallots as fine as possible. Put a pan on the fire and let the clarified butter melt.
- Put the peppercorns, the shallots and the parsley in and let this fry until the shallots brown. Take the pan off the fire and season it with a bit of salt.
- When the salmon reaches a core temperature of 45ºC/113°F you take it out of the grill. Pour the sauce over the crust and serve the salmon while it’s hot.
