PEPPER-HONEY CEDAR PLANK SALMON

Pepper-Honey Cedar Plank Salmon image

I live in Alaska and have 3 sons that love to fish. I have had to come up with some pretty creative ways to prepare salmon, this is by far my family and friends favorite way to eat fresh salmon. I soak an untreated cedar plank in water and bourbon while they are out fishing for the day and fix the barbeque sauce so that's it is ready to get grilling.....

Ingredients

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.

This recipe is a bit pricey, but it's worth it for a special occasion. The salmon is delicious and the honey-pepper glaze is amazing.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salmon didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. It was still good, but it wasn't as amazing as everyone else seems to think.

I had a hard time finding cedar planks at my local grocery store, but I was able to find them online. They're definitely worth the extra effort.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The salmon was cooked perfectly, though.

I'm not a huge fan of salmon, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The honey-pepper glaze was the perfect touch.

This recipe is a great way to cook salmon if you're looking for something different. The cedar plank adds a unique flavor that you won't get from cooking it in a pan.
