SALMON & MELTING CHERRY TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not browned. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Stir in the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the tomato sauce thickens slightly. Off the heat, stir in the vinegar and basil.
- Meanwhile, place a large (12-inch) cast-iron pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Brush the salmon all over with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and place it skin side up in the pan. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them, until browned. Turn the salmon skin side down with a small metal spatula and transfer the pan to the oven for 8 minutes. (The salmon will not be completely cooked through.) Remove the fish to a serving platter, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Reheat the tomatoes, season to taste, and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature along with the salmon.
CEDAR PLANK-GRILLED SALMON
Salmon did planking before it was a thing! Cedar keeps the fish from getting burned or blackened and infuses it with delectably earthy flavor. Brush with my Awesome Sauce recipe before serving.

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.

CEDAR-PLANK SALMON
Where this recipe calls for lemon zest and rosemary, the native Coast Salish Indians on Vancouver Island would use grand-fir needles. Either way, the salmon takes on a light, smoky woodiness from grilling on a cedar plank, for a lovely pairing of earth and ocean.

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
- Soak the cedar plank: Soaking the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling will help to prevent it from burning.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the cedar plank.
- Season the salmon: Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before placing it on the cedar plank.
- Grill the salmon: Grill the salmon for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the salmon: Serve the salmon immediately with grilled cherry tomatoes and any other desired sides.
Conclusion:
Cedar plank salmon with grilled cherry tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The cedar plank imparts a smoky flavor to the salmon, while the grilled cherry tomatoes add a sweet and tangy touch. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
