Upside Down Planked Fish
Upside Down Planked Fish
Author: Diane Matako
Instructions
- On the planks I use I have inserted small screws along the sides of the plank about 1 to 2 inches apart
- and use a very thin wire like framing wire to truss my fish to the plank.
- I rub the fish and plank with olive oil season the fish with whatever spices I like and get fresh dill
- (lots of it stalks and all) put it under the fish put fish on the plank squeeze a lemon on top
- and put more fresh dill on top then take the wire
- and go across the fish like lacing a shoe from side to side looping the wire around the screws firmly not too tight
- you just need to secure it to the plank. ( I've used wood or gas to cook) place 1 or 2 bricks on the grate
- to elevate the plank fish side down if you need more heat take a brick out.
- Cook about 10-20 minutes or until the fish is just starting to flake.
- Remove it from heat and let it stand to finish cooking.
- Wire cutters work good to remove the fish but watch how you cut the wire so no small wire pieces are in the fish.
- I just unravel mine.
- Serve with a Dijon mustard sauce or by itself it's great and what a nice presentation.
