Grilling Wrap Grilled Salmon and Asparagus

 When spring is in the air, asparagus are back in season and that’s something to be excited about, especially when you grill them with salmon in our fabulous Cedar Works grilling wraps.  It’s a classic combination, and the flavour will be beautifully enhanced by the subtle smokiness the wraps provide. The flaky salmon and tender asparagus will melt in your mouth!

Pro tip: Only use the freshest asparagus you can find. Fresh asparagus sounds squeaky when rubbed. If it does not squeak, it’s not fresh. For a complete meal, you simply can’t go wrong when serving this with buttery new potatoes. That’s a winner of a dinner!

Soak cedar wraps in water for 10 to 20 minutes before using.

Step 2:
Pre-heat the grill or oven to 180°C.

Step 3:
Place 3 asparagus followed by one piece of Salmon and about 3 lemon slices onto the wrap parallel to the grain of the wood. Fold edges toward each other and overlap slightly at the bottom. Tie with a piece of enclosed natural twine.

Step 4:
Place Salmon wraps in preheated oven or grill, keeping it away from direct flames. Close grill lid.

Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until desired doneness, plate up and enjoy!

You’ll find the early season asparagus at your greengrocers in September, and they are usually readily available between October and late December. Cook this lovely dish now, as supply of this fabulous veggie will dwindle again in January.
