Cedar Plank Blackened Salmon with Tzatziki Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix all the spices together in a medium size bowl or jar. You will not need all the mix, store the remainder in a jar in your pantry, labeled.

2. 2

   For the Tzatziki: If you have time (I don’t usually do this but ideally you should), place all ingredients (other than salt and pepper) in a very fine sieve (if you have a cheese cloth, you can line the sieve with a cheesecloth). Place sieve over a bowl to collect excess water. Do not press through sieve; let gravity remove excess moisture.

3. 3

   Place sieve/bowl in refrigerator and let sit for at least 4 hours and up to 10 hours.

4. 4

   Place thickened yogurt mixture in a serving bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Place the fish on the soaked cedar plank, drizzle the fish with a little olive oil. Sprinkle about 2 tsp. of Blackened Rub PER POUND of fish. Place the plank on the grill. Cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the fish flakes but is slightly (very slightly) undercooked in the center, it will continue to cook as it rests.

6. 6

   Serve on the plank, hot, warm or room temp with Tzatziki on the side. Serves 6-8 *I use and English cucumber, slice it in half, using a small spoon, scoop the seeds out and then slice the cucumber very small.
