Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) hake fillets
- 12 whole (trimmed of roots and cleaned) ramps
- 1 piece (untreated and pre-soaked) cedar plank
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) fresh thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (melted) unsalted butter
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Submerge the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour, ensuring it is fully soaked to avoid burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pat the hake fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides generously with the olive oil mixture and set aside.
Toss the cleaned ramps in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil mixture to coat evenly.
Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill, close the lid, and heat it for 2-3 minutes until it begins to lightly smoke.
Carefully arrange the hake fillets and ramps on the cedar plank. Brush the ramps with a little melted butter for added flavor.
Close the grill lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the hake fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F). The ramps should be lightly charred and tender.
Carefully remove the cedar plank from the grill using tongs or heat-resistant gloves. Allow the fish and ramps to rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the hake and ramps directly from the cedar plank with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
