Cedar Plank Salmon
Recipe By :BC in OR
Categories:Fish/Seafood
1 large salmon fillet -- with
skin
salt/pepper
hot pepper oil
cedar planks
For the cedar planks: I buy a
8' plank that is 8" wide and 1" thick.
You MUST buy "Untreated Cedar" planking. Have the lumber
yard cut the plank
into 10"-12" pieces.
Soak one of the cedar plank pieces
in water for at least 2 hours (do
this in anything but your kitchen sink!)
Place the salmon fillet skin
side down on the plank, brush liberally
with hot pepper oil, then salt and pepper to taste.
Place the plank on a hot grill
and reduce heat to medium. Grill for
about 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness of fillets and how
well done you
like it). DO NOT FLIP/TURN THE FISH!
The beauty of this recipe is
how simple it is.....you don't have to try
to flip the fish (and have it break apart and fall onto the coals!)
The
plank will burn but you should get two uses out of each plank.
When I've used
it one time I scrape off any bits of fish (after plank has cooled)
and
wash the plank off as best I can with a brush (only on the top
side). Wrap the
plank in newspaper and put it where the cats and racoons can't
get it!
Once you've made salmon this
way you won't want it any other way!!
Serve with a sour cream/dill sauce if desired.
Anyone who has the guts to try
this please let me know what you think!!
After you've done it the first time it isn't as strange. The
Indians used to cook salmon this way.
