If you still have the grill out, this is a great late season dish and so easy to make. The smell and flavor of the cedar with the salmon seems like a perfect combination.
I also do this with teriyaki marinade, but today it's just the lightly seasoned fish so we can taste a bit of the cedar flavor. I'm using the McCormick Grill Mates Salmon Seasoning, but any favorite seasoning or just salt and pepper will work fine. As you can see I'm serving it with a side of baby Brussels sprouts that have been par boiled and then finished in a skillet with butter and garlic. Add to that a side of roasted trii-color fingerling potatoes, and you have a lovely autumn dinner.
Salmon freezes well and they vacuum pack it now, so it really is quite good. In the photo above I'm using a piece of previously frozen sockeye salmon, skin on, from Costco. Sockeye salmon is less fatty that the classic farm raised, more pink, salmon, and we prefer it, although either type works fine.
Ingredients
Cedar plank
Olive oil
Seasoning of your choice
Salmon fillet (thawed if previously frozen)
Instructions
Soak the cedar plank for 30 minutes to 2 hours, the longer the better. Preheat the grill until it reaches about 375F degrees. Rub the salmon on both sides lightly with olive oil. Place the salmon flat (and skin if still on) side down, and sprinkle with your favorite seasonings. Turn off the burner directly below the cedar plank and place the salmon on the plank in that spot. Close the lid and monitor temperature to maintain it around 375F degrees. Once the grill returns to temperature, then cook for 30 minutes. Remove salmon from the plank to plates and serve.
