Posted at 20:54h, 12 JuneThese wraps were a new find, but this also works on a cedar plank. If you use the plank (vs. wrap) put the asparagus on the plank and the salmon on top of the asparagus as you would with a wrap and then cover with tin foil – as this will allow steaming of the vegetable and the salmon.
