Arteflame Norwegian Flatbread with Grilled Salmon

Ingredients

• 2 Norwegian salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 2 flatbreads
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup arugula
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins.
3. Light the napkins and let the fire build for about 20 minutes.
4. The grill is ready when the center grate reaches 1,000°F.

Step 2: Prepare the cream sauce

1. In a bowl, mix sour cream, dill, chives, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 3: Sear and grill the Norwegian salmon

1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Place the salmon on the center grill grate and sear for 1 minute per side.
3. Move the fillets to the flat cooktop to finish cooking to an internal temperature of 130°F.
4. Remove from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 115°F (it will continue cooking off the grill).

Step 4: Grill the flatbread

1. Spread a thin layer of butter on the flatbreads.
2. Place them on the outer edge of the cooktop and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

Step 5: Assemble the flatbread

1. Spread the herbed cream sauce over each grilled flatbread.
2. Flake the salmon into large chunks and distribute evenly on top.
3. Add fresh arugula and sliced red onions.

Tips

• Always let grilled salmon rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
• Use salted butter for extra flavor when grilling the flatbread.
• Adjust cooktop positioning to control heat – outer areas are cooler for delicate ingredients.

Variations

• Smoky Norwegian Salmon: Add a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the salmon seasoning for a deeper flavor.
• Spicy Grilled Salmon: Mix some crushed red pepper into the cream sauce for a slight kick.
• Lemon-Herb Freshness: Top with extra lemon zest and more fresh herbs for a refreshing taste.
• Mediterranean Delight: Add feta cheese crumbles and kalamata olives.
• Asian Fusion: Drizzle with a light soy-ginger glaze before serving.
