CEDAR PLANK SALMON WITH MAPLE-GINGER GLAZE



Cedar Plank Salmon With Maple-Ginger Glaze image

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.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH MAPLE GLAZE AND MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES



Cedar Planked Salmon With Maple Glaze and Mustard Mashed Potatoes image

Plank cooking is a Native American technique that imparts a subtle smoky flavor to fish, meat, poultry, and vegetables. It is recommended to use a plank of untreated Western red cedar made specifically for cooking purposes.

Categories     Fish     Garlic     Ginger     Onion     Roast     Dinner     Lemon     Seafood     Salmon     Healthy     Maple Syrup     Soy Sauce     Simmer     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh gingerroot
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 1/2-pound center-cut salmon fillet with skin
Greens from 1 bunch scallions
Mustard Mashed Potatoes, to serve
Special Equipment
An untreated cedar plank (about 17x10 1/2") if desired

Steps:

  • In a small heavy saucepan simmer maple syrup, gingerroot, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until reduced to about 1 cup, about 30 minutes, and let cool. (Maple glaze may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring maple glaze to room temperature before proceeding.)
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. If using cedar plank, lightly oil and heat in middle of oven 15 minutes; or lightly oil a shallow baking pan large enough to hold salmon.
  • Arrange scallion greens in one layer on plank or in baking pan to form a bed for fish.
  • In another small saucepan heat half of glaze over low heat until heated through to use as a sauce. Stir in remaining tablespoon lemon juice. Remove pan from heat and keep sauce warm, covered.
  • Put salmon, skin side down, on scallion greens and brush with remaining glaze. Season salmon with salt and pepper and roast in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 20 minutes if using baking pan or about 35 if using plank.
  • Cut salmon crosswise into 6 pieces. On each of 6 plates arrange salmon and scallion greens on a bed of mashed potatoes. Drizzle salmon with warm sauce.

MAPLE-BAKED SALMON



Maple-Baked Salmon image

Salmon baked at a low temperature until medium-rare delivers a silky texture that tastes special enough to make it a festive centerpiece. This easy dish works any night of the week, since it comes together in less than half an hour. Maple syrup sweetens the glaze, which gets a savory pop from whole mustard seeds in Dijon. Even though salmon is naturally fatty, a dollop of mayonnaise adds extra richness while thickening the glaze to help it seal onto the fish. The herbaceous aroma of cilantro stems baked into the sauce brightens the dish, as do tender leaves scattered on top. Fill out your feast with any combination of steamed rice, roasted potatoes, green beans or salad.

Provided by Genevieve Ko

Categories     dinner, lunch, snack, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1 1/2-pound) skin-on or skinless salmon fillet
12 fresh cilantro sprigs
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Remove salmon from the refrigerator. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Bundle the cilantro sprigs by their stems and hold them tightly, then slice the stems crosswise until you get to the leaves. Reserve leaves for garnish. Transfer sliced stems to a small bowl and stir in the maple syrup, mustard and mayonnaise until well mixed.
  • Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish, skin-side down if there is skin. Slather the maple sauce all over the top.
  • Bake until a paring knife slides into the center with only a little resistance, 15 to 20 minutes. When you remove the knife and touch the blade to your upper lip, it should feel very warm but not hot. The salmon will continue to heat through out of the oven while in the baking dish. Top with the reserved cilantro leaves, and squeeze lemon wedges all over just before serving.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH WHISKEY MAPLE GLAZE



Cedar Planked Salmon With Whiskey Maple Glaze image

There is nothing comparable to the taste of freshly caught salmon, but to serve it planked.....is phenomenal!!! Out on the west coast, we get an abundance of salmon, so I am always looking for a different recipe. This recipe was published in our local paper from cookbook author Ronnie Shewchuk, Barbecue Secrets

Provided by Abby Girl

Categories     High Protein

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cedar plank (soaked overnight or at least 1 hour)
6 tablespoons whiskey
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
3 lbs salmon, skin on
kosher salt
ground black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated onion (or onion powder)
2 lemons, halved

Steps:

  • Plank: Make sure that the plank has soaked for at least 1 hour and up to 24.
  • Glaze: Combine the whiskey and maple syrup in a small saucepan, bringing the mixture to a low boil and reduce by about half. You should have a thick syrup that coats the back of a spoon. Add chilies and butter and stir until just combined. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Season the salmon with salt, pepper and granulated onion. Pour the glaze over the salmon carefully. Let the salmon sit for 10 - 15 minutes at room temperature, until the rub is moistened.
  • Preheat the grill on medium high heat for 5 - 10 minutes. Rinse the plank and place it on the cooking grate. Cover the grill and heat the plank for 4 - 5 minutes or until it starts to throw off a bit of smoke and crackles lightly.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low. Season the plank with kosher salt and place the salmon, skin side down, on the plank. Cover the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes.
  • Check periodically to make sure the plank doesn't catch fire and spray the burning edges with water if it does, making sure to close the lid afterwards.
  • When the salmon is done, squeeze half a lemon along its length and carefully transfer to a platter. Garish with remaining lemon cut into slices.

  • Bake for 15- 17 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality salmon: Opt for fresh or frozen wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Properly thaw frozen salmon: If using frozen salmon, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or place it in a sealed bag and submerge it in cold water for about 30 minutes.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the salmon in a mixture of maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, and herbs enhances its taste.
  • Cook over medium heat: To prevent overcooking and maintain the salmon's moist interior, cook it over medium heat.
  • Monitor the cooking time: The cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillet. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 165°F (74°C) for medium.
  • Let the salmon rest: After cooking, let the salmon rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and succulent texture.
  • Garnish and serve: Enhance the presentation of the dish by garnishing it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
