SAM THE COOKING GUY'S RAINY DAY SALMON

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except the salmon in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Turn down heat and simmer for a few minutes until syrupy.
• Turn oven to broil. Cover a large baking sheet with foil, it's messy.
• Place salmon on the foil and baste well with the sauce.
• Broil the salmon depending on thickness about 10-15 minutes until done.
• Baste a couple of times during cooking. If it starts to get crispy and a little bit black, that's good.

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.
