Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 untreated cedar planks
¼ cup pineapple juice
⅓ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup honey
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
6 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless salmon fillets
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Soak the cedar planks in warm water for 1 to 2 hours. Add a splash of bourbon to the water if desired.
  • Bring the pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir in the sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 15 minutes. Set the sauce aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place the planks on the grate. They are ready to cook on when they start to smoke and crackle just a little.
  • Season the salmon with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Place the fillets onto the smoking cedar planks, close the lid of the grill, and cook for 10 minutes. Spoon a small amount of the sauce over the salmon fillets, and continue cooking until the fish turns opaque in the center, about 5 minutes more. Serve with the remaining sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs salmon fillets
2 cedar planks (14-inch x 6-inch)
6 tablespoons honey dijon mustard (Jack Daniels)
1 cup brown sugar
1 dash fresh ground pepper
1 dash salt
1/4 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
6 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
4 beef bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon shallot, minced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Soak cedar planks in salted water for at least 2 hours. Set grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high (400-450 degrees). Remove skin from salmon fillets. Remove any remaining bones. Rinse the salmon under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Generously season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay the salmon (on what was skin-side down) on the cedar plank and carefully spread the mustard over the top and sides. Place the brown sugar in a bowl and crumble between your fingers, then sprinkle over the mustard.
  • Place the cedar plank in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook until cooked through, around 20 to 30 minutes. The internal temperature should read 135°F Transfer the salmon and plank to a platter and serve right off the plank, or transfer filets to a serving plate.
  • SAUCE: Blend all remaining ingredients in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes. Be careful that you don't let it get too think, otherwise it will caramelize as it cools due to the brown sugar.
  • Serve salmon over a bed of wilted spinach, then drizzle the sauce over the top of it.
  • ALTERNATE COOKING METHOD: A direct method to grill the salmon may also be used. If this is preferred, spread the mustard and brown sugar on the salmon but do not place the fish on the plank. Set up the grill for direct grilling on medium-high. When ready to cook, place the plank on the hot grate and leave it until there is a smell of smoke, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the plank over and place the fish on top. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 135°F Check the plank occasionally. If the edges start to catch fire, mist with water, or move the plank to a cooler part of the grill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and higher in contaminants.
  • Prepare the cedar plank. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent the plank from burning.
  • Season the salmon. You can use a variety of seasonings on the salmon, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. You can also add a glaze or marinade to the salmon for extra flavor.
  • Cook the salmon. Place the salmon on the prepared cedar plank and cook it on a preheated grill or in the oven. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon.
  • Serve the salmon. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the cedar plank and serve it immediately. You can garnish the salmon with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley.

Conclusion:

Cedar plank salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your cedar plank salmon turns out perfectly every time.
