Smoked salmon with asparagus and baby potatoes
Preparation time: 60 minutes
Serves 4
Preparation
- Soak the Bricknic and the cedar wood plank in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the wood from burning and ensures gentle cooking.
- Light the Braaimaster. Use a small bed of charcoal under the Bricknic. The air currents create extra heat.
- Halve the baby potatoes (especially the larger ones) and place them in the Bricknic.
- Cut the garlic bulb in half and place both halves among the baby potatoes. Add a generous sprig of rosemary and thyme.
- Season the baby potatoes with salt and pepper and pour a generous amount of olive oil over them.
- Close the Bricknic with the lid and place it on the fire. If necessary, place a few coals on top. Allow the potatoes to cook for about 50 minutes. Stir carefully halfway through and check regularly.
- Place the skinless salmon on the soaked smoking rack and brush with a layer of hoisin sauce.
- Cut thin slices of lemon and orange and arrange them in an overlapping pattern on top of the salmon. Add some finely chopped red pepper if desired.
- Place the smoking rack on the side of the Firebox or in a spot with indirect heat. Let the salmon cook gently for 15 to 20 minutes until it flakes apart and is just no longer translucent.
- Meanwhile, trim the tough ends off the asparagus and brush them with olive oil.
- Grill the asparagus directly over hot coals until they have nice grill marks. Remove them from the heat and sprinkle with lemon zest and sea salt flakes.
- Serve the salmon straight from the plank, garnished with fresh dill. Divide the grilled asparagus and baby potatoes between the plates. Finish with a drizzle of extra olive oil or lemon zest for freshness, if desired.
