Cedar-Plank Lemon Tilapia
A cedar plank does the heavy lifting here: it perfumes the fish, keeps it gently moist and makes a simple tilapia dinner feel like it belongs at a backyard supper club. Bright lemon, herbaceous garlic and a tiny balsamic finish make every flaky bite pop.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat a grill for medium-high indirect heat. Place the soaked cedar plank directly over the heat with the lid closed for 3 to 5 minutes, just until it begins to crackle and smell toasty.
- Brush tilapia with Ellbee's Garlic Olive Oil and season with Ellbee's Lemon Zest Gourmet Garlic, salt and pepper. Lay fillets on the hot plank and top each with a lemon slice.
- Set plank over indirect heat, close the lid and cook until fish flakes easily, 10 to 14 minutes. Toss asparagus with a little oil, salt and pepper and grill alongside until charred-tender.
- Transfer fish and asparagus to plates. Drizzle lightly with Ellbee's Peach White Balsamic Vinegar and finish with parsley and fresh lemon.
Notes
Time: 35 min
Kitchen tip: Keep the grill lid closed as much as possible—the trapped cedar smoke is part of the flavor, not just the show.
