Main Ingredients

Maple Dijon Butter

Roasted Baby Potatoes

Seasonal Vegetables

Method

Preparing the Cedar Plank

  1. 1

    Soak the Cedar Plank

    Submerge the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent it from burning during grilling.

Making Maple Dijon Butter

  1. 2

    Prepare the Butter Mixture

    In a medium bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 3

    Roast the Baby Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes. In a bowl, toss them with olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden and tender.

Cooking the Salmon and Prawns

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salmon and Prawns

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down on the soaked cedar plank. Brush generously with the maple Dijon butter. Arrange the Black Tiger prawns around the salmon on the plank, brushing them with the remaining butter.

  2. 5

    Grill the Salmon and Prawns

    Place the cedar plank on the grill and close the lid. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the prawns are pink and opaque.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Once cooked, remove the cedar plank from the grill carefully. Serve the grilled salmon and prawns hot, alongside the roasted baby potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
