Alder Roasted Salmon with Dill and Cranberries

This festive grilled salmon topped with dill and cranberries is a unique PNW holiday meal the whole family will enjoy!
Course: Entrée
Cuisine: American
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 c. unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 c. fresh dill weed chopped
  • 1/4 c. dried cranberries roughly chopped
  • 1 T. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. pink and green peppercorns crushed
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 6 (8 oz.) King salmon fillets skin on

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Place salmon, skin side down on an alder plank. Spread butter mixture over salmon fillets.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets) or until done.
  • Cook's Note: We recommend a reusable alder plank with a trough cut in the center to hold juices. If using a flat disposable alder plank, place in a shallow baking pan to collect drippings.
  • You can bake in the oven as suggested OR cook outdoors in a covered grill over high heat. Keep a spray bottle of water close by in case of flare ups.
