Salmon did planking before it was a thing! Cedar keeps the fish from getting burned or blackened and infuses it with delectably earthy flavor. Brush with my Awesome Sauce recipe before serving.

GRILLED CEDAR PLANK SALMON WITH GARLIC BASIL BUTTER



Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon With Garlic Basil Butter image

This is by far my FAVORITE way of preparing salmon. I first tried it at McGraths Fish House, then duplicated it at home. You can normally find a cedar plank at your local grocery store in the seafood department.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cedar plank
1 1/2-2 lbs salmon
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup butter, softened
6 -7 garlic cloves, minced
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Soak your cedar plank in water for 20 minutes, flipping over halfway through soak time.
  • While the plank is soaking, mix together butter, basil and minced garlic cloves, spread on salmon.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat your grill to low, or the right setting for your grill for fish.
  • Take your cedar plank out of the water and place the salmon on top of the plank. Place it on the grill and cook for 20-40 minutes depending on how thick your salmon is.Grill with the lid closed.
  • During the cooking time, if the plank catches on fire, spray it with water.
  • Salmon is done cooking, when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • *Note: Whenever I make this it normally takes around 30-45 minutes to cook on the grill. I constantly check it to make sure the plank doesn't burn & the salmon doesn't over cook.
  • Make sure you have water on hand to spray the cedar plank with, so it doesn't catch on fire.

GRILLED CEDAR PLANK SALMON



Grilled 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 wonderfully moist and the skin doesn't stick to the grates. We spiced ours up with a maple-ginger marinade and whipped up a quick side salad for a tasty, incredibly easy weeknight meal.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons grated ginger (from a 2-inch knob)
3 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 cup olive oil
Four 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin on (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 10-ounce bag coleslaw mix
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup sesame sticks or wonton chips

Steps:

  • Soak a cedar grill plank in water for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Preheat the grill to medium.
  • Mix the rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and garlic in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Reserve 1/4 cup for the salad dressing and set aside. Pour the remaining mixture over the salmon and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the soaked cedar plank in the center of the preheated grill. Close the lid and let the plank heat until you hear it start to crack, about 15 minutes. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the plank. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. 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.
  • While the salmon is cooking, add the coleslaw mix, almonds, sesame sticks or wonton chips and the reserved dressing to a large bowl and toss until well combined. Serve alongside the salmon.

Cedar Plank-Grilled Salmon with Garlic, Lemon and Dill image

Cooking a lemon and dill seasoned whole salmon fillet on a smoldering cedar plank adds a touch of smoke to a beautiful fish!

Provided by USA WEEKEND Pam Anderson

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Salmon

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (3 pound) whole filet of salmon, skin on, scored (up to but not through the skin) into serving pieces
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup minced fresh dill
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.
  • When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.
  • Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED CEDAR-PLANKED SALMON



Grilled Cedar-Planked Salmon image

Planking is a rather new experience for us. I prepare the food and DH does the rest. This recipe is adapted from kraftfoods.com and is so simple to make. The original recipe called for parsley which I didn't have. I used fresh garden basil and loved it. Serve with rice, fresh bread and a salad for a lovely meal that is sure to impress. Please note: The cooking or prep time does not include the time needed to soak the cedar plank.
