Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup sake
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 whole lemon, juice of
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 large salmon fillet, about 2 pounds

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except the salmon in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Turn down heat and simmer for a few minutes until syrupy.
  • Turn oven to broil. Cover a large baking sheet with foil, it's messy.
  • Place salmon on the foil and baste well with the sauce.
  • Broil the salmon depending on thickness about 10-15 minutes until done.
  • Baste a couple of times during cooking. If it starts to get crispy and a little bit black, that's good.

SAM THE COOKING GUY'S CEDAR PLANK SALMON

My neighbor's jokingly refer to this as Salmon Brulee - yum yum! This is very impressive looking when done, not to mention easy. You can buy untreated cedar planks at a lumber yard. It should be about an inch thick with at least an inch border. Keep a spray water bottle on hand, just in case of a flare-up. Really yummy served with warm croissants.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cedar plank
1 whole salmon fillet
olive oil
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
2 -3 cups brown sugar

Steps:

  • Soak plank in water 1 to 2 hours.
  • Heat grill to medium.
  • Place salmon on plank and rub top lightly with oil, and sprinkle well with salt and pepper.
  • Cover salmon with brown sugar.
  • Place board with salmon on heated grill and close lid.
  • For a filet about an inch at its thickest and depending on how good your barbeque is, it will grill for about 10 - 15 minutes.
  • The plank sides may flare up during cooking this is no big deal as long as you keep the salmon about an inch away from the edges.
  • Remove and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice. Look for salmon that is firm and has a vibrant color.
  • Season the salmon simply: Salt, pepper, and a little bit of olive oil are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon.
  • Cook the salmon gently: Overcooking will dry out the salmon, so cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Salmon is a delicious and healthy fish that is perfect for a rainy day meal. It can be cooked in a variety of ways, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. With these tips, you can make a perfect salmon dinner that will warm you up on a cold, rainy day.
