Planked king salmon with cucumbers and balsamic vinegar from The Babbo Cookbook by Mario Batali

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Loved this. We eat a lot of salmon, and this was one of our favorite preparations ever. Got to use pink peppercorns for the first time. The quick pickled salad cut through the richness of the salmon. And the house smelled like toasty cedar for a couple of days after.

    I got a gorgeous piece of California King salmon yesterday and happened to have most of the ingredients for this recipe. The salmon is cooked on a plank in the original recipe after being brushed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. I cooked it on a cast-iron skillet, skin first (in the oven). The cucumber salad accompaniment has sliced shallots, scallions (I substituted chives), mustard seeds, pink peppercorns (which I omitted), red wine vinegar and olive oil. The salmon is served on the cucumber salad with a drizzle of aged balsamic. It's a great week-night recipe with minimal cleanup needed. With fish as good as this King salmon, you don't need to do much to it other than making sure that it is cooked properly.
