  • 5-Piece EGGspander Kit

Directions

  1. Stabilize the Big Green Egg at 400°F/200°C.

  2. Insert the EGGspander, with half set up for indirect cooking, then place a cast iron grate on the bottom level of the direct half, this is where we will cook the salmon.

  3. Combine the sumac, paprika, salt, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder in a bowl and mix well.
