This 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.

Cooking fish on wooden planks is a native tradition. Use untreated cedar that you can buy at the local lumberyard or hardware store. You can usually use them a few times if they are not too badly charred.

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.

CEDAR-PLANKED SALMON WITH LEMON-PEPPER RUB AND HORSERADISH-CHIVE SAUCE image

Categories     Fish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the salmon
1 Tbs. grated lemon zest, minced
1 1/2tsp. chopped fresh thyme
1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 2-lb. boneless, skin-on salmon fillets (preferably wild and no longer than 15 inches), pin bones removed
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
For the horseradish-chive sauce
1/2 cup crème fraîche
3 Tbs. minced fresh chives
1 1/2 Tbs. prepared horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak the cedar planks in water to cover for at least 1 hour. Drain the planks. Prepare the sauce In a small bowl, stir the crème fraîche, chives, and horseradish. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate. Prepare the salmon In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, thyme, sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 Tbs. pepper. Rub the mixture together with your fingers until the zest is distributed throughout. Rub the salmon fillets on both sides with the olive oil and then set each fillet skin side down on a plank. Sprinkle the fillets with the lemon-pepper mixture, dividing it evenly. Gently rub the seasoning into the fillets. Let stand at room temperature while the grill heats. Cook the salmon Prepare a gas or charcoal grill fire for indirect cooking with high heat: On a gas grill, heat all burners on high; then turn off all but one burner just before cooking the salmon; on a charcoal grill, bank the coals to two opposite sides of the grill. Arrange the planks over the cooler part of the grill, positioning them so that the thickest part of the fish is closest to the heat source. Cover the grill and cook until the thickest part of each fillet registers about 135°F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 35 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. The planks may smoke a bit (this is fine) and will become very aromatic. Let the fillets rest on the planks for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Cut the salmon fillets crosswise into serving portions and transfer to individual plates. Serve with the sauce.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 untreated cedar planks
¼ cup pineapple juice
⅓ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup honey
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
6 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless salmon fillets
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Soak the cedar planks in warm water for 1 to 2 hours. Add a splash of bourbon to the water if desired.
  • Bring the pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir in the sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 15 minutes. Set the sauce aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place the planks on the grate. They are ready to cook on when they start to smoke and crackle just a little.
  • Season the salmon with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Place the fillets onto the smoking cedar planks, close the lid of the grill, and cook for 10 minutes. Spoon a small amount of the sauce over the salmon fillets, and continue cooking until the fish turns opaque in the center, about 5 minutes more. Serve with the remaining sauce.

Tips:

- Choose high-quality, thick-cut salmon fillets for best results. - If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking. - Cedar planks need to be soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the salmon. - Brush the salmon fillets with melted butter or olive oil to help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the grill. - Apply a flavorful rub to the salmon fillets before grilling to enhance their taste. - Cook the salmon fillets on the cedar planks for 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness, or until they are cooked through. - Use a meat thermometer to ensure the salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). - Serve the salmon fillets immediately with your favorite sides and garnishes.
