Plank Cooking Fish Recipe

For plank cooking your fish it’s important to get a fish that makes a good thick steak about one inch thick.

I prefer to use filets rather than a steak so this presents a greater problem because cod and haddock for example just aren’t thick enough. In the end I’ve plumped for Halibut but you could try a Swordfish steak if you prefer.

This recipe relies on a 30 minute marinade so there’s a little bit more time involved. Having said that, it is a wine marinade so no clues how to while away the 30 minutes – all you need is a glass!

Ingredients:-

• Two good size Halibut filets
• White wine (as much as you dare spare!)
• Juice and Zest of one lemon
• One clove garlic crushed
• Extra virgin olive oil

Method:-

Make 3 or 4 incisions in the filet as this gives greater surface area for the marinade to work and also ensures even cooking. Place the fish in a flat marinade bowl and pour over a good lug of white wine and a small amount of olive oil. Sprinkle the crushed garlic and lemon zest over the top and finish off by squeezing the lemon juice all over.

After the 30 minutes marinade, slap it on the pre-heated plank, pour over another lug of olive oil and bung it in the oven for 15 minutes.

For a nice healthy meal serve with boiled new potatoes and steamed vegetables. Come to think of it, my potatoes in green Mojo sauce might be quite nice.
