Cedar Planked Salmon

This cedar-plank salmon is a dish my brother prepared for me in Seattle. It is by far the best salmon I've ever eaten. I like to serve it with an Asian-inspired rice and roasted asparagus.

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 3 (12 inch) untreated cedar planks

  • ⅓ cup soy sauce

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 2 (2 pound) salmon fillets, skin removed


Directions

  1. Soak cedar planks for at least 1 hour in warm water. Soak longer if you have time.

  2. Stir together soy sauce, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, and garlic in a shallow dish.

  3. Place salmon fillets in soy mixture and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour refrigerated.

  4. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place planks on the grill grate. Heat planks until they start to smoke and crackle just a little.

  5. Remove salmon from marinade and place on planks; discard marinade.

  6. Close grill cover. Grill salmon until it flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes; salmon will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill.
