Cedar Plank Rum Salmon Recipes

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:

• Combine brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle over fillets. Arrange fillets 1 inch apart on the soaked cedar planks.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Place planks over the cooler section of the center of the grill, turning the thickest sections of the salmon closest to the fire.
• Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest parts of the salmon reaches 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from grill and let salmon rest on planks, 5 to 10 minutes.

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:

• 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:

• Place the salmon, skin side down, on the cedar plank. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, oil, thyme, and cayenne. Spread over the salmon.
• Cover with foil. Roast on plank for 25-30 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and is opaque throughout.
• Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
• To grill: Follow instructions above, except put the plank with salmon (covered with foil) directly on the grill. Grill should be preheated to medium or, if using charcoal, allow the coals to burn until they are covered with white ash.

Steps:

• Submerge the cedar planks in a 9x13 (22 x 33 cm) glass baking dish filled with water. Soak for at least 1 hour to prevent burning while grilling.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, brown sugar, orange zest, salt, pepper, coriander, and cumin.
• On a cutting board, pat the salmon fillets with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Rub the mustard mixture evenly over the salmon.
• Preheat the grill to 350°F (180°C).
• Place the cedar planks on the grill over indirect heat, arrange the salmon fillets on top, and close the lid. Grill for 15-17 minutes, until the salmon is pink in the center and easily flakes with a fork.
• Enjoy!
