Cedar Planked Salmon With Hoisin Mustard Glaze Recipes

SALMON BAKED ON A CEDAR PLANK WITH HOISIN GLAZE

Steps:

• Stir the hoisin, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic and cilantro together in a small bowl.
• Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours and up to 12.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients to make the hoisin glaze. Lightly season the salmon with salt. Spoon the glaze over the salmon so it is fully coated.
• Heat the soaked cedar plank in the oven for 15 minutes to bring out the aroma of the wood.
• Place the salmon on the plank, skin side down.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the oven, until the fillet can be barely flaked with a fork.

CEDAR PLANK SALMON WITH MUSTARD-HERB GLAZE

Steps:

• Put a weight atop the cedar plank and soak in water for a minimum of one hour, preferably longer.
• Brush the flesh side of the salmon fillet with olive oil; season with Kosher salt and fresh black pepper. Combine Dijon mustard and herbs; brush over salmon.
• Place the soaked plank on grill grate over medium-high heat; cover and heat for 3 minutes. Turn plank over with tongs and heat until light smoke develops, about 3 minutes more.
• Place salmon skin-side down on heated plank over medium-high heat; cover and grill until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 140 F, 15-20 minutes.
• Transfer salmon to serving plate. With tongs carefully remove hot plank from grill to a safe, heat-resistant cooling place. Let salmon rest 5 minutes before serving.

PLANKED SALMON WITH HONEY BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Presoak cedar plank for 8 hours.
• Preheat grill to 400 degrees.
• Cut a few slits in the side of the salmon, but don't go all the way through, halfway. Do the same if using portions. The slits allow the glaze to absorb into the fillet.
• In a bowl mix salt, pepper and dry mustard.
• In a glass bowl, microwave the honey for about 30 seconds to liquefy. Remove bowl and blend in balsamic vinegar.
• With a basting brush, baste the salmon with butter. Apply dry seasoning mix (salt, pepper and dry mustard) on flesh side of salmon and lightly rub it into the salmon(don't tear flesh). I just pat the dry seasoning on.
• With the basting brush baste the salmon with the honey balsamic mixture. Reserve liquid for later.
• Heat the planks on the grill over medium heat for 3-5 minutes to brown them. Watch so they don't catch on fire. Remove from grill and rub olive oil on the browned side of plank. Lay salmon on the oiled side of the plank with skin side down and baste with remaining reserved liquid.
• Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. A thicker cut may take a little longer. If cooking in an oven use a cookie sheet to prevent a mess.
• Note: prep time doesn't include cedar plank soak time of 8 hours.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH MAPLE GLAZE AND MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

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.
