Did you spot the deliberate mistake? I did this recipe early on in my plank cooking career and I made the mistake of cooking the filets flesh side up. Whilst it works wonders for the presentation it does nothing for the flavor.

The whole principle of plank cooking is that the moisture in the pre-soaked plank steams the fish when it is heated and imparts some of the flavor of the wood into the fish - not easy through an impermeable membrane like fish skin! Always cook your fish filets with the skin side up, that way the skin acts like a lid.

In addition you will know when your fish is ready because if the skin side is up, you can just peel it off. If it peels off nice and easy then your fish is ready whereas if you're having tug at it, pop it back in the heat for a further 5 minutes and try again.

This cedar plank trout is such simple recipe, if you’re into trout it really is a must.

Ingredients:-

• 4 trout filets.
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 or 3 sprigs of flat leafed parsley
• A teaspoon tip of Wasabi powdered horseradish
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:-

Place your trout filets skin side down on a board.

Mix up all the other ingredients in a bowl and and then just lay the ingredients across the filet and pat them down a little just to make sure that they adhere to the flesh.

Transfer the trout filets to your cedar planks and turn them over to be skin side up. Pop the planks into a low oven or barbecue at 110°C or 230°F and in 25 – 30 minutes you’re ready to serve.

Peel away the skin and with a fish slice carefully turn the filets over. Don't worry if some of the seasoning mix remains of the plank as this will season the freshly peeled skin side.

I like to serve my fish on the cedar plank accompanied by a green leaf salad.
