ALDER PLANK SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Soak the salmon fillet in a brine solution for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. Also, submerge the alder wood in water, placing a heavy object on top of it to prevent floating.
• Preheat an outdoor smoker for 160°F to 180°F (70°C to 90°C).
• Remove the salmon from the brine, rinse thoroughly under cold running water, and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the wood plank from the water, and lay the fish out on the plank. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
• Smoke the salmon for at least 2 hours, checking after 1 1/2 hours for doneness. The fish is done when it flakes with a fork, but it should also not be too salty. As the fish smokes, the salt content reduces. Adjust the cooking time and salty flavor to your taste. (NOTE: Smoking a fillet can take 2 to 6 hours depending on your taste, the size of the fillet, and the fat content of the fish.).
• During the last 30 minutes of smoking mix together the brown sugar and water to form a paste. Brush this liberally onto the salmon.

ALDER PLANKED BRINED SALMON WITH CREAMY DILL-CHIVE SAUCE

• In medium bowl, combine brine ingredients and stir until salt dissolves. Set aside. Remove any pin bones from salmon. Place fish, skin side up, in a shallow, rectangular glass or stainless steel marinating dish. Pour brine over fish to completely cover. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Remove salmon from brine; rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Prepare plank according to instructions. Place salmon on the plank in the barbecue, close the lid, and cook to an internal temperature of 125°F or approximately 15 to 18 minutes. The salmon will be properly cooked when it takes on a bronzed finish from salmon fat rising to the surface and its center is a light red when probed with a fork. Note that the salmon will naturally continue cooking on the plank when it's removed from the grill, so remove it sooner that you might than when cooking fish in the oven. To prepare Dill-Chive Sauce, combine all ingredients in small bowl and blend thoroughly. If desired, thin sauce with cold water. Cover sauce and refrigerate until ready to serve.
