Salmon Fillet with Chinese Pepper

Ingredients

• 700 g salmon fillet (ready-to-cook, skin on, whole piece)
• 4 sprigs Mint
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 untreated lemon (juice)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp crushed Sichuan peppercorns
• Salt

Instructions

1. 1.

   Soak the wooden board in cold water for at least 1 hour. Wash the salmon and pat dry, then place skin side down on a plate. Rinse the mint, shake dry, and pluck the leaves. Peel the garlic, slice thinly, and mix with mint, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; spread over the salmon. Let sit briefly.

2. 2.

   Preheat the grill and place the soaked wood on the hot grate until it starts smoking after 4-5 minutes. Place the salmon on the wood and cook covered for about 20 minutes, so that the center remains slightly translucent pink.

3. 3.

   Serve fresh from the hot smoke on the cedarwood board.
