Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon Recipes

CEDAR PLANK SALMON

Steps:

• Soak cedar plank in salted water for 2 hours, then drain. Remove skin from salmon fillet. Remove any remaining bones. Rinse the salmon under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Generously season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay the salmon (on what was skin-side down) on the cedar plank and carefully spread the mustard over the top and sides. Place the brown sugar in a bowl and crumble between your fingers, then sprinkle over the mustard.
• Set grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high. Place the cedar plank in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook until cooked through, around 20 to 30 minutes. The internal temperature should read 135 degrees F. Transfer the salmon and plank to a platter and serve right off the plank.
• Cook's Note: A direct method to grill the salmon may be used. Soak the cedar plank well. Spread the mustard and brown sugar on the salmon, but do not place the fish on the plank. Set up the grill for direct grilling on medium-high. When ready to cook, place the plank on the hot grate and leave it until there is a smell of smoke, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the plank over and place the fish on top. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 135 degrees F. Check the plank occasionally. If the edges start to catch fire, mist with water, or move the plank to a cooler part of the grill.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON

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.

CEDAR PLANK OVEN SALMON

Steps:

• Soak the cedar plank in water for 1 hour. When it's almost done soaking, begin preheating the oven to 350 F.
• While the oven is preheating, make a brine for the salmon by combining 2 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of salt. Soak the salmon in the brine for 10 minutes while the oven preheats.
• Remove the cedar plank from the water and shake off excess water. Remove the salmon from the brine and gently pat to remove excess brine. Rub the salmon with the desired amount of salmon rub.
• Place a flat rack on a baking sheet (you can line the baking sheet with foil first, for easy cleanup, if desired). Place the soaked plank on the rack. Put the baking sheet with the rack and plank on it in the oven for 5 minutes to heat up.
• Remove the baking sheet with the rack and plank on it. Place the rubbed salmon on the hot plank; if the end of a salmon filet is thinner than the center, you can gently fold the thin end under so that the salmon cooks more evenly. Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached. (Salmon is fully cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.)
• Optional: glaze salmon fillets with melted butter and sprinkle on chopped fresh dill just before serving.

CEDAR-PLANK ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Build a hot fire. Prepare cedar plank by toasting it over hot coals until it begins to blacken slightly on one side; remove from heat, and let cool completely.
• Place board, toasted side up, with both ends resting on supports. Sprinkle with one-third salt and a few sprigs each thyme and rosemary. Place salmon on plank, skin side down. About 2 inches from each end, tap one nail horizontally into side of plank, leaving head protruding for the wire. Season salmon with remaining salt and pepper, and arrange remaining herbs across the top.
• Starting at the larger end of fish, twist wire around the nail several times to secure. Wrap wire entirely around salmon and plank at 2-inch intervals, making sure that it is tight enough to hold fish in place without slicing through the tender flesh. When you reach the other end of the plank, twist the wire several times around other nail, and trim any excess wire with wire cutters.
• Arrange plank supports near the fire, and rest the plank, fish side down, on top, 15 to 20 inches above the coals. Cook until thicker part of fish is firm to the touch, 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire, the distance from the heat during cooking, and the thickness of the fish. Roll the plank several times during cooking to check for doneness, and spritz fish and plank with water if they begin to smolder.
• Remove plank from heat, and let cool slightly. Remove wire and herbs, and discard. Cut fish on the diagonal, or flake the flesh with a fork into large pieces, and serve it directly from the plank.

CEDAR-PLANK SALMON

Steps:

• Soak cedar grilling plank in water to cover 2 hours, keeping it immersed.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure . Open vents on bottom and lid of charcoal grill.
• Stir together mustard, honey, rosemary, zest, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Spread mixture on flesh side of salmon and let stand at room temperature 15 minutes.
• Put salmon on plank, skin side down (if salmon is too wide for plank, fold in thinner side to fit). Grill, covered with lid, until salmon is just cooked through and edges are browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Let salmon stand on plank 5 minutes before serving.

LINGUICA CRUSTED ROASTED SALMON CEDAR PLANK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees. Season the salmon with 1 tablespoon olive oil and Essence. In a large saute pan, heat the remaining oil. When the pan is smoking hot, sear the salmon for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and place on a cedar plank. In a saute pan, render the finely chopped linguica for 2 to 3 minutes. Add enough bread crumbs to bind the sausage. Stir in the lemon and orange zest. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Crust the top of the salmon with the linguica crust. Using your hands, pack the crust into the salmon. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Place the cedar plank on a platter. Garnish with chives and Essence.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle both sides of salmon with rub, about 3/4 teaspoon per piece. Rub seasonings into salmon. Place two pieces of salmon on their side, with the skin back to back, on the prepared baking sheet, and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil; add salt. Add carrots, and cook for 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer carrots to ice-water bath. Place potatoes in a separate small saucepan, and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. With slotted spoon transfer to ice-water bath. When vegetables are cool, drain and reserve.
• Transfer the pairs of salmon fillets, with the skin still back to back, onto center of cedar plank. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, potatoes, pepper, and mushrooms. Add 2 teaspoons lemon juice, the oil, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic. Toss to combine. Transfer vegetables to cedar plank, surrounding salmon. Sprinkle with remaining lemon juice.
