Alder Planked Halibut with Horseradish Crumb Topping

Wild Halibut Season it here!  Let's plank some!

Alder Planked Halibut with Horseradish Crumb Topping

Ingredients:
1 Outdoor Gourmet Alder Grilling Plank
1 Wild Halibut Fillet, Fresh
4 Tablespoons Parsley, chopped
1 ½ cups Bread Crumbs
2 Tablespoons Butter
3 Tablespoons horseradish, peeled + chopped

First: Soak Outdoor Gourmet Alder Grilling Plank in water for at least an hour, but longer is better. 
 
Chop parsley and peel Horseradish root- for this step I highly recommend some sort of eye protection and possibly something to cover your nose and mouth… I used goggles and a bandana. 
 
Then: Turn on the broiler. While it’s heating up, whir bread crumbs, butter, parsley, and horseradish together in a food processor.
 **I wore my goggles for this step too. Raw horseradish is strong!! Not to worry though- some of the sharpness calms down when horseradish is cooked. 

Place your halibut fillet on the soaked Alder plank, then cover the exposed part of the plank with foil to protect it from the broiler. 
 
Next: Pack your horseradish breadcrumb mixture atop the halibut fillet and place under boiler for 2 minute to brown the crumbs.
 
Preheat: Grill for 350-400°. Remove halibut from under broiler, discard foil and place plank and halibut with pre-browned crumbs onto grill and close the lid. 
Allow the plank to smoke and smolder until the fish is down to your liking. Cooking times with vary depending on the sizes of your halibut fillet. 

Finally: Carefully remove from grill, serve with a springy salad and enjoy!

Welcome to Your Weekend!
