MISO-GLAZED CEDAR PLANK SALMON



Miso-Glazed Cedar Plank Salmon image

Using a cedar plank to grill salmon is an effortless way to add enormous flavor to your dish. The fish takes on a lovely smokiness, stays moist and the skin doesn't stick to the grates. This one is marinated in an umami-packed miso marinade that brings tons of flavor with very little effort.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
3 tablespoons white miso
1 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, grated (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
Four 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin on (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Soak a cedar grill plank in water for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
  • Bring the mirin and sake to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk in the miso and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until there are no lumps and the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool to room temperature and stir in the soy sauce and ginger. Pour the mixture over the salmon in a shallow bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat.
  • Place the soaked cedar plank in the center of the grill grate. Close the lid and let the plank heat until you hear it start to crack, about 15 minutes. Remove the salmon filets from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and put them skin-side down on the plank. Close the lid and cook until the salmon is opaque throughout and large flakes break off when flecked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the plank from the grill and serve the salmon from the plank (the fish will slide right off with a metal spatula, leaving the skin behind). Discard the plank.

There is nothing comparable to the taste of freshly caught salmon, but to serve it planked.....is phenomenal!!!

Categories     High Protein

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cedar plank (soaked overnight or at least 1 hour)
6 tablespoons whiskey
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
3 lbs salmon, skin on
kosher salt
ground black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated onion (or onion powder)
2 lemons, halved

Steps:

  • Plank: Make sure that the plank has soaked for at least 1 hour and up to 24.
  • Glaze: Combine the whiskey and maple syrup in a small saucepan, bringing the mixture to a low boil and reduce by about half. You should have a thick syrup that coats the back of a spoon. Add chilies and butter and stir until just combined. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Season the salmon with salt, pepper and granulated onion. Pour the glaze over the salmon carefully. Let the salmon sit for 10 - 15 minutes at room temperature, until the rub is moistened.
  • Preheat the grill on medium high heat for 5 - 10 minutes. Rinse the plank and place it on the cooking grate. Cover the grill and heat the plank for 4 - 5 minutes or until it starts to throw off a bit of smoke and crackles lightly.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low. Season the plank with kosher salt and place the salmon, skin side down, on the plank. Cover the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes.
  • Check periodically to make sure the plank doesn't catch fire and spray the burning edges with water if it does, making sure to close the lid afterwards.
  • When the salmon is done, squeeze half a lemon along its length and carefully transfer to a platter. Garish with remaining lemon cut into slices.

  • Season the Salmon: Generously season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, enhancing its natural flavors.
  • Grill at Medium Heat: Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350°F) to ensure even cooking without overcooking the salmon.
  • Glaze Throughout Cooking: Baste the salmon with the maple-ginger glaze every 5-7 minutes during grilling to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Cook to Perfection: Cook the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, ensuring a tender and flaky texture.
  • Let it Rest: Allow the cooked salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute for a more succulent result.
