Directions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine ingredients for the salmon dry rub: paprika, salt, lemon pepper, sugar, garlic, tarragon, and basil. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months. (
- Makes about 1/4 c.)
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or possibly waxed paper. Sprinkle both sides of salmon with rub, about 3/4 tsp. per piece. Rub seasonings into salmon. Place two pcs of salmon on their side, with the skin back to back, on the prepared baking sheet, and chill, uncovered, for at least 2 hrs and up to 12 hrs.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, prepare an iced-water bath. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add in carrots, and cook for 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer to iced water bath. In a separate small saucepan, place potatoes. Cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and cook till tender, about 10 min. With slotted spoon transfer to iced-water bath. When vegetables are cold, drain and reserve.
- Transfer the pairs of salmon fillet, with the skin still back to back, onto center of cedar plank. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, potatoes, pepper, and mushrooms. Add in two tsp. lemon juice, oil, salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic. Toss to combine. Transfer vegetables to cedar plank, surrounding salmon. Sprinkle with juice of 1/3 lemon.
- Transfer plank to oven. Bake for 8 min. Remove from oven. Turn fish over, and return to oven. Bake till internal temperature of salmon measures 120 degrees on a meat thermometer, an additional 6 to 8 min.
- Remove from oven. Serve directly on plank, or possibly transfer to plates. Brush with melted butter, if you like. Garnish with lemon slices.
- This recipe yields 2 servings.
