Cedar Planked Salmon
This cedar plank salmon recipe from Allrecipes delivers wonderfully smoky flavor that your dinner guests won't be able to resist. The salmon is moist, tender, and infused with an Asian-inspired marinade featuring soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Grilling on a cedar plank prevents the delicate fish from falling through the grates while imparting a subtle smokiness that elevates the dish to restaurant quality.
Ingredients
- 3 12-inch untreated cedar planks
- 0.33 cup soy sauce
- 0.33 cup vegetable oil
- 1.5 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 cup green onions
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 2 2-pound salmon fillets
Instructions
- Soak cedar planks for at least 1 hour in warm water. Soak longer if you have time.
- Stir soy sauce, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, and garlic together in a shallow dish.
- Place salmon fillets in soy mixture and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour refrigerated.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place planks on the grill grate. Heat planks until they start to smoke and crackle just a little.
- Remove salmon from marinade and place on planks; discard marinade.
- Close grill cover. Grill salmon until it flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes; salmon will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill.
