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 PLANKED SALMON

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.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 (12 inch) untreated cedar planks
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
⅓ cup soy sauce
¼ cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 (2 pound) salmon fillets, skin removed

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.

Categories main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 24 tacos, 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Ingredients

3 to 4 cups golden brown sugar
1/4 cup good quality dark roast coffee, coarsely ground
1/2 cup seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
1/4 cup ground turmeric
1/4 cup curry powder
1/4 cup ground cumin
1/4 cup coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 bunch of fresh cilantro leaves; chopped (yields approximately 1 cup)
1 bunch fresh flat leaf parsley; chopped (yields approximately 1 cup)
1 bunch fresh green onion; chopped (yields approximately 1 cup)
2 fresh pasilla chiles fire roasted, stemmed, seeded and chopped
2 fresh Anaheim chiles fire roasted, skinned and chopped
1/2 head fresh red cabbage, chiffonade
1/2 head fresh green cabbage chiffonade
2 serrano chiles, finely diced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice, about 1 1/2 tablespoons, optional
6 pounds wild salmon fillet, boneless and skinless
3 cedar grilling planks (soaked for 3 hours)
4 dozen fresh corn tortillas (preferably homemade)
1 pound Cotija cheese crumbled for topping tacos

Steps:

Thoroughly mix all of the rub ingredients in a glass bowl and set aside. Cooks Note: Can be sealed in storage bag or jar for up to 1 week. This will make about 6 cups.
Combine all of the ensalada ingredients in a glass bowl and mix well. Set aside for tacos.
Cut the salmon fillet into 3 equal parts and arrange on the pre-soaked cedar planks. Cover the salmon liberally with the spice rub (approximately 1 cup per pound). It is ok if some spice rub falls onto the plank.
Heat the grill to high.
Put the salmon planks over very hot mesquite/oak or hickory coals and cover the grill until the spice rub has melted to form a coating over salmon and plank, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the cover from the grill. If the planks flame up be sure the flames do not scorch the fillet, as the taste of burned sugar should not be the dominating flavor.
Remove the salmon planks from the grill and loosely cover with foil. Allow the fillets to rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the fillets to a large bowl and set aside. In the meantime, toast the corn tortillas over the hot coals or on a preheated comal.
Add the ensalada to the bowl with the salmon and stir lightly to combine.
Using 2 overlapping toasted corn tortillas, scoop some of the salmon mixture onto the tortillas and top with some of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. For authentic Baja style service, use simple paper boats for serving vessels. The boats will allow the tacos to stand upright for better presentation.

Tips:

Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet with vibrant color and firm texture. Avoid fillets that appear dull or have a slimy film.
Prepare the Cedar Plank: Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This prevents the plank from burning and ensures it releases a pleasant, smoky aroma during cooking.
Create a Flavorful Spice Rub: Combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, and salt to create a flavorful rub that enhances the natural taste of the salmon.
Season the Salmon Generously: Apply the spice rub evenly to the salmon fillet, ensuring it covers the entire surface. This ensures maximum flavor infusion.
Grill at the Right Temperature: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). This ensures the salmon cooks evenly without overdrying or burning.
Cook the Salmon Carefully: Place the seasoned salmon fillet on the prepared cedar plank and grill it for 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness. Monitor the temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Let the Salmon Rest: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and flavorful fish.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cooked salmon with fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Serve it with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, grilled lemon wedges, or a refreshing salad.

Conclusion:

Cedar-planked salmon with spice rub is an easy-to-make yet impressive dish that combines the natural flavors of salmon with the smoky aroma of cedar. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and succulent salmon dish that will be the star of your next meal. Remember to choose high-quality ingredients, prepare the cedar plank properly, and cook the salmon carefully.
