Cedar Planked Salmon

👤 6 servings easy 🌍 Asian allrecipes.com ↗

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

  1. Soak cedar planks for at least 1 hour in warm water. Soak longer if you have time.
  2. Stir soy sauce, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, and garlic together in a shallow dish.
  3. Place salmon fillets in soy mixture and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour refrigerated.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove salmon from marinade and place on planks; discard marinade.
  6. 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.
