This is such an easy way to cook whole fish in a wood-fired oven. The salmon takes on the light woodiness from the cedar plank and the smoke blends perfectly with the rich oily fish. Cook it on low embers at 180°C until pink and serve it with a salad of chargrilled baby gem lettuce and Caesar dressing.

Ingredients

  • 1Kg Scottish salmon fillet with skin on
  • 1 teaspoon chopped thyme
  • 1 tablespoon of cajun spice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Soak the cedar plank in water for 3 hours, keeping it immersed.
  2. Prepare your wood-fired oven until you have low embers at 180°C.
  3. Stir together the cajun spice, thyme, lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Spread mixture on the flesh side of the salmon and let the salmon stand at room temperature 15 minutes.
  4. Place the salmon on the cedar plank, skin side down and roast at 180°C until the salmon is just cooked through and the edges are browned, it takes about 12 to 15 minutes.
  5. Let the salmon stand on the plank for 5 minutes before serving.

My Fuego wood fired pizza oven...

“Our Fuego wood oven has transformed our restaurant! As a piece of kit, it is extremely versatile and controllable, allowing us to roast all of our meats and vegetables in the wood burning oven as well as using it as a charcoal grill during service. The flavour of everything coming out of the Fuego clay pizza oven is incredible due to the amazing smoky, charred tones added to the smell and taste of everything that’s cooked in it. It is not expensive to run as all the kiln-dried wood we use heats the wood fired pizza oven pretty quickly and it retains its temperature really well, only needing to add logs to the fire a few times over the course of service.”

My Fuego wood fired pizza oven...

“We wanted a traditional wood oven that ticked lots of boxes, for us it had to be made of brick for the authentic feel, have amazing functionality and great quality. Our Fuego clay pizza oven ticks them all. Our pizza nights are such a fantastic feature for the guests that stay in our holiday cottages and it’s a great way of bringing friends and family together for making those special memories. Highly recommended”
