Cedar Plank Salmon With Ginger Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Soak 1 large cedar grilling plank (15 by 6 inches) in a baking dish of water, about 2 hours; put a plate or mug on top to keep the plank submerged.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle the salmon with the coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the maple syrup, ginger, lemon zest and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
• Remove the cedar plank from the water and pat dry. Place the plank directly on the oven rack and preheat about 15 minutes. Using tongs or oven mitts, remove the hot plank from the oven and place the fish, skin-side down, on the wood. Brush the fish with half of the ginger glaze. Transfer the fish on the plank to the oven; put a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips. Cook until the salmon is just firm and slightly golden on top, about 12 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the oven and change the oven setting to broil. Brush the remaining ginger glaze over the salmon and broil until golden, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes on the plank before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, combine the sherry, soy sauce, sesame oil, butter and ginger.
• Place the fish in the marinade for 30 minutes.
• Soak the cedar plank in water for 20-45 minutes
• Preheat the grill at a medium-low setting (300 degrees).
• After removing the plank from the liquid, pat dry and coat with olive oil on both sides.
• Place the plank on the grill with the salmon and shut the lid.
• Leave for 15-20 mins (note: when using whole salmon, the cooking time will increase to approximately 45-50 mins).
• Check salmon on the thickest part of the fillet to ensure even cooking. The salmon should have an opaque colour and be flaky to the touch with a fork.
• Once done, serve with lemon or lime for squeezing over the fish.

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.

Steps:

• Soak a cedar grill plank in water for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Preheat the grill to medium.
• Mix the rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and garlic in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Reserve 1/4 cup for the salad dressing and set aside. Pour the remaining mixture over the salmon and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the soaked cedar plank in the center of the preheated grill. Close the lid and let the plank heat until you hear it start to crack, about 15 minutes. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the plank. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Close the lid and cook until the salmon is opaque throughout and large flakes break off when flecked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the plank from the grill and serve the salmon from the plank (the fish will slide right off with a metal spatula, leaving the skin behind). Discard the plank.
• While the salmon is cooking, add the coleslaw mix, almonds, sesame sticks or wonton chips and the reserved dressing to a large bowl and toss until well combined. Serve alongside the salmon.

Steps:

• Soak a 10 inch long, 6" to 8" wide, construction grade cedar plank 3/4" thick, in water for at least 24 hours before making the recipe.
• Make sure you keep the wood submerged by weighing it down with cans.
• Start your barbecue and heat it to high.
• Rub the salmon filets all over with the oil, sprinkle each one with some of the shallots, top with a few sprigs of fresh dill and a squirt of lemon juice.
• Finish with the crushed peppercorns.
• Put the plank on the BBQ and sprinkle with a little coarse salt.
• Close the cover for a couple of minutes or just until the top of the plank is nearly dry.
• Note: Keep a spray bottle of water close at hand in case the wood starts to burn.
• Place the filets on top of the plank.
• If your BBQ has two burners, turn off the one beneath the wood.
• If not, turn the heat to the lowest setting.
• Close the cover and cook for about 10- 12 minutes or until nearly cooked all the way through.
• Don't overcook.
• Squeeze some lemon juice over the top, serve and enjoy.
• The plank can only be used once.
• Make sure it has stopped smoking and is well extinguished before disposing of it.

Steps:

• Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours and up to 12.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), or see Footnote for grilling instructions.
• Place the salmon on the plank, skin-side down. In a small bowl, stir together the sesame oil, brown sugar, dill weed and sesame seeds. Stir in just enough water to make it liquid. Season with pepper and soy sauce if desired. Spoon the mixture over the salmon so it is fully coated.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fillet can be flaked with a fork.

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan simmer maple syrup, gingerroot, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until reduced to about 1 cup, about 30 minutes, and let cool. (Maple glaze may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring maple glaze to room temperature before proceeding.)
• Preheat oven to 350° F. If using cedar plank, lightly oil and heat in middle of oven 15 minutes; or lightly oil a shallow baking pan large enough to hold salmon.
• Arrange scallion greens in one layer on plank or in baking pan to form a bed for fish.
• In another small saucepan heat half of glaze over low heat until heated through to use as a sauce. Stir in remaining tablespoon lemon juice. Remove pan from heat and keep sauce warm, covered.
• Put salmon, skin side down, on scallion greens and brush with remaining glaze. Season salmon with salt and pepper and roast in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 20 minutes if using baking pan or about 35 if using plank.
• Cut salmon crosswise into 6 pieces. On each of 6 plates arrange salmon and scallion greens on a bed of mashed potatoes. Drizzle salmon with warm sauce.
