Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours and up to 12.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), or see Footnote for grilling instructions.
• Place the salmon on the plank, skin-side down. In a small bowl, stir together the sesame oil, brown sugar, dill weed and sesame seeds. Stir in just enough water to make it liquid. Season with pepper and soy sauce if desired. Spoon the mixture over the salmon so it is fully coated.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fillet can be flaked with a fork.

Steps:

• Soak cedar plank in salted water for 2 hours, then drain. Remove skin from salmon fillet. 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.
• Set grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high. 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 degrees F. Transfer the salmon and plank to a platter and serve right off the plank.
• Cook's Note: A direct method to grill the salmon may be used. Soak the cedar plank well. 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 degrees 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.

Steps:

• Build a hot fire. Prepare cedar plank by toasting it over hot coals until it begins to blacken slightly on one side; remove from heat, and let cool completely.
• Place board, toasted side up, with both ends resting on supports. Sprinkle with one-third salt and a few sprigs each thyme and rosemary. Place salmon on plank, skin side down. About 2 inches from each end, tap one nail horizontally into side of plank, leaving head protruding for the wire. Season salmon with remaining salt and pepper, and arrange remaining herbs across the top.
• Starting at the larger end of fish, twist wire around the nail several times to secure. Wrap wire entirely around salmon and plank at 2-inch intervals, making sure that it is tight enough to hold fish in place without slicing through the tender flesh. When you reach the other end of the plank, twist the wire several times around other nail, and trim any excess wire with wire cutters.
• Arrange plank supports near the fire, and rest the plank, fish side down, on top, 15 to 20 inches above the coals. Cook until thicker part of fish is firm to the touch, 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire, the distance from the heat during cooking, and the thickness of the fish. Roll the plank several times during cooking to check for doneness, and spritz fish and plank with water if they begin to smolder.
• Remove plank from heat, and let cool slightly. Remove wire and herbs, and discard. Cut fish on the diagonal, or flake the flesh with a fork into large pieces, and serve it directly from the plank.

Steps:

• Soak cedar grilling plank in water to cover 2 hours, keeping it immersed.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure . Open vents on bottom and lid of charcoal grill.
• Stir together mustard, honey, rosemary, zest, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Spread mixture on flesh side of salmon and let stand at room temperature 15 minutes.
• Put salmon on plank, skin side down (if salmon is too wide for plank, fold in thinner side to fit). Grill, covered with lid, until salmon is just cooked through and edges are browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Let salmon stand on plank 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Soak the cedar planks for at least 1 hour in warm water. Soak longer if you have time.
• In a shallow dish, stir together the vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to one hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place the planks on the grate. The boards are ready when they start to smoke and crackle just a little.
• Place the salmon fillets onto the planks and discard the marinade. Cover, and grill for about 20 minutes. Fish is done when you can flake it with a fork. It will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill.

Steps:

• Soak 1 large cedar grilling plank (15 by 6 inches) in a baking dish of water, about 2 hours; put a plate or mug on top to keep the plank submerged.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle the salmon with the coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the maple syrup, ginger, lemon zest and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
• Remove the cedar plank from the water and pat dry. Place the plank directly on the oven rack and preheat about 15 minutes. Using tongs or oven mitts, remove the hot plank from the oven and place the fish, skin-side down, on the wood. Brush the fish with half of the ginger glaze. Transfer the fish on the plank to the oven; put a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips. Cook until the salmon is just firm and slightly golden on top, about 12 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the oven and change the oven setting to broil. Brush the remaining ginger glaze over the salmon and broil until golden, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes on the plank before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Soak the cedar planks in water for several hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Brush the planks with olive oil.
• Cut the salmon fillet into three portions. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle parsley and sun-dried tomatoes over the top. Drizzle with salad dressing.
• Place the planks on the preheated grill and let them heat up for about 5 minutes. Place the salmon fillets on the planks. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Fish is done when it can be flaked with a fork. Remove quickly to avoid over cooking and drying out the fish. Serve piping hot.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle both sides of salmon with rub, about 3/4 teaspoon per piece. Rub seasonings into salmon. Place two pieces of salmon on their side, with the skin back to back, on the prepared baking sheet, and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil; add salt. Add carrots, and cook for 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer carrots to ice-water bath. Place potatoes in a separate small saucepan, and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. With slotted spoon transfer to ice-water bath. When vegetables are cool, drain and reserve.
• Transfer the pairs of salmon fillets, with the skin still back to back, onto center of cedar plank. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, potatoes, pepper, and mushrooms. Add 2 teaspoons lemon juice, the oil, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic. Toss to combine. Transfer vegetables to cedar plank, surrounding salmon. Sprinkle with remaining lemon juice.
• Transfer plank to oven. Bake salmon for 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Turn fish over, and return to oven. Bake until internal temperature of salmon measures 120 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, an additional 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Serve directly on plank, or transfer to plates. Brush with melted butter, if desired. Garnish with lemon slices, and serve immediately.
