Smoked whitefish salad is a delicious and healthy dish to make in your Z-Grills pellet grill. It’s a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and other essential nutrients. The combination of applewood smoked whitefish with crisp vegetables is super satisfying, and the garlic-fueled dressing is the perfect finish.

Salad

  • 16 ounces cod, or other firm whitefish
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • 6 ounces vine-ripened tomatoes
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce, or other lettuce of choice

Garlic Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Z Grills 450B Wood Pellet Grill
  • Z Grills Apple Wood Pellets
  • Grill Mat
  • Tongs
  • Whisk

Instructions

                                      • Step 1: Preheat your Z-Grills (preferably with branded wood pellets) or other wood pellet grill to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
                                      • Step 2: Brush the cod with oil—season with salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley.
                                      • Step 3: Transfer to the grates (use a grill mat if you wish), close the lid and smoke the fish for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the tomatoes to a small baking sheet and place the baking sheet onto the grates during the last 40 minutes of smoke time.
                                      • Step 4: Add the onion and lettuce to a large bowl. Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together in a separate bowl.
                                      • Step 5: Remove the cod and tomatoes from the grill and set aside to cool. Lightly dress the onion and lettuce with some of the vinaigrette in the meantime.
                                      • Step 6: Break the cod into pieces and add to the onion and lettuce. Follow with the tomatoes.
                                      • Step 7: Finish the smoked whitefish salad with the remaining dressing and serve.
