Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skinned
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 cedar or alder planks, or 2 untreated cedar shingles or shims (available at lumberyards), about 5 inches wide and 12 inches long, soaked at least 2 hours, or overnight, so as not to flame up
Olive oil
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon minced shallots or scallions
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fish stock, chicken stock or low-salt canned chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 hard-cooked eggs, coarsely grated or chopped
1 teaspoon fresh chives, optional
1 tablespoon Californian sturgeon caviar, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add shallots and saute 1 minute. Season with a pinch of salt. Add lemon juice, wine, stock and cream. Simmer over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
  • Lower the heat and whisk in the remaining butter 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece when the previous one is almost melted.
  • Add hot sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve, into a bowl. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Mix together the mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the top of the salmon fillets with the melted butter. Season both sides with the mustard mixture and set aside.
  • Put the soaked shingles in the oven, directly on the racks, for about 3 to 5 minutes until the wood is lightly browned on top. Carefully take the shingles out of the oven and place them on a heat-proof surface.
  • Turn on the oven broiler.
  • Immediately brush the shingles with a thin layer of olive oil and lay the salmon fillets, skinned side down, on the browned side of each shingle. Place the shingles under the broiler and cook the fish for about 5 to 7 minutes, until firm but not dry. Remove the fillets to a platter or serve directly from the shingles.
  • Just before serving, stir the parsley and grated eggs into the reserved warm egg sauce. Fold in chives and caviar if using. Top the fillets with the egg sauce and a sprinkling of chives, and a dollop of caviar if using.

Cedar Plank-Grilled Salmon with Garlic, Lemon and Dill image

Cooking a lemon and dill seasoned whole salmon fillet on a smoldering cedar plank adds a touch of smoke to a beautiful fish!

Provided by USA WEEKEND Pam Anderson

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Salmon

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (3 pound) whole filet of salmon, skin on, scored (up to but not through the skin) into serving pieces
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup minced fresh dill
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.
  • When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.
  • Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • When choosing salmon for brining, opt for a center-cut fillet with the skin on. This will help keep the fish moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • Use a large container for brining the salmon. This will ensure that the fish is completely submerged in the brine solution.
  • When making the brine solution, use a ratio of 1 cup of salt to 4 cups of water. This will create a brine that is strong enough to flavor the fish without being too salty.
  • Brine the salmon for at least 12 hours, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the fish time to absorb the flavors of the brine.
  • Before cooking the salmon, rinse it thoroughly with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help remove any excess salt from the fish.
  • When cooking the salmon on the grill, use a medium-low heat and cook the fish for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the salmon with a creamy dill chive sauce. This sauce is a delicious complement to the flavorful salmon.

Conclusion:

Alder-planked brined salmon with creamy dill chive sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The brining process helps to keep the fish moist and flavorful, while the creamy dill chive sauce adds a delicious richness to the dish. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
