Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 2-to-3-pound skin-on center-cut salmon fillet (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of salmon: You can use any type of salmon for this recipe, but thicker cuts like fillets or steaks are best as thinner cuts may overcook on the grill.
  • Brine the salmon: Brining the salmon helps to add flavor and moisture to the fish. You can use a simple brine made with salt, sugar, and water, or you can add herbs and spices to your brine for extra flavor.
  • Use a cedar plank: Cedar planks impart a delicious smoky flavor to the salmon as it cooks. If you don't have a cedar plank, you can use a foil packet instead.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the salmon. This will help to sear the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Cook the salmon over indirect heat: Once the grill is preheated, move the salmon to an area of the grill that is not directly over the heat. This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking.
  • Glaze the salmon: Baste the salmon with the maple glaze every few minutes while it cooks. This will help to keep the fish moist and add a delicious caramelized flavor.

Conclusion:

Cedar-planked salmon with maple glaze and mustard mashed potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection on the grill and the maple glaze adds a sweet and savory flavor. The mustard mashed potatoes are a creamy and flavorful side dish that complements the salmon perfectly.
