Cedar Planked Salmon With Soft Corn Pudding Recipes

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-PLANKED SALMON WITH SOFT CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix together salt, pepper and mustard. Brush tops of fillets with a little butter and sprinkle both sides with dry mustard mixture.
• Preheat the broiler. Soak the shingles in cold water for 5 to 10 minutes, then put them under the hot broiler 4 to 5 inches from the heat source for 2 to 3 minutes until browned on one side. Carefully take the shingles from the broiler.
• Immediately, so that the shingles do not cool, lay two fillets on the browned side of each shingle. Return the shingles to the broiler and cook the fish for about five minutes. Take the shingles from the broiler and lift the salmon from them.
• Place three to four tablespoons of soft corn pudding on a plate. Top with salmon fillet and spoon vinaigrette over the top.
