Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon With Mustard Maple Glaze Recipes

CEDAR PLANK-GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle over fillets. Arrange fillets 1 inch apart on the soaked cedar planks.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Place planks over the cooler section of the center of the grill, turning the thickest sections of the salmon closest to the fire.
• Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest parts of the salmon reaches 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from grill and let salmon rest on planks, 5 to 10 minutes.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH MAPLE GLAZE AND MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

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.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH HOISIN MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Cedar Plank: Take an untreated cedar plank, about 16x8 inches, weighted down and soaked in water for at least an hour, preferably longer.
• Mix first 5 ingredients in a small bowl for glaze. Place salmon, skin side down, on large cutting board and remove any pin bones.
• Cut salmon in half lengthwise but not through to the skin. Then cross crosswise to make 6 - 8 servings, but again, do not cut through to the skin.
• Brush glaze evenly over salmon flesh and in between individual servings. Season evenly with salt and pepper.
• Preheat grill. Place soaked plank over direct medium heat and close lid. After a few minutes when the plank begins to crackle and smoke begins to escape from grill, place salmon, skin side down, in centre of plank.
• Close lid and let salmon cook until lightly browned, about 15 - 25. (Hint: move plank over indirect heating will prevent flareups, but cooking may be longer).
• Remove plank from grill using tongs.
• Serve.

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH WHISKEY MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Plank: Make sure that the plank has soaked for at least 1 hour and up to 24.
• Glaze: Combine the whiskey and maple syrup in a small saucepan, bringing the mixture to a low boil and reduce by about half. You should have a thick syrup that coats the back of a spoon. Add chilies and butter and stir until just combined. Set aside and keep warm.
• Season the salmon with salt, pepper and granulated onion. Pour the glaze over the salmon carefully. Let the salmon sit for 10 - 15 minutes at room temperature, until the rub is moistened.
• Preheat the grill on medium high heat for 5 - 10 minutes. Rinse the plank and place it on the cooking grate. Cover the grill and heat the plank for 4 - 5 minutes or until it starts to throw off a bit of smoke and crackles lightly.
• Reduce the heat to medium low. Season the plank with kosher salt and place the salmon, skin side down, on the plank. Cover the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes.
• Check periodically to make sure the plank doesn't catch fire and spray the burning edges with water if it does, making sure to close the lid afterwards.
• When the salmon is done, squeeze half a lemon along its length and carefully transfer to a platter. Garish with remaining lemon cut into slices.
