Cedar Salmon Dry Rub Recipes

CEDAR PLANKED SALMON

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.

• Allow salmon to marinate 10 to 20 minutes.

CEDAR PLANK SMOKED WILD SALMON

Steps:

• 1. Apply a light coat of EVOO over the Salmon
• 2. Apply the dry rub to the fish, a light coat will be plenty. I had some left over for another grilling or two.
• 3. I like to let the fish sit @ room temp for about 45 minutes to one hour before grilling. This is ample time for the dry rub to get into the fish.
• 4. In regards to the Cedar Plank, I soak it all day in the sink. Keep it totally submerged in water, the longer the better.
• 5. Preheat the grill to 400 - 450. Place the Salmon on the Cedar Plank and put it on the grill.
• 6. Cook the Salmon to an internal temp of 130 degrees in the thickest part. This will produce a very moist Salmon. The fish should reach that temp in 25 - 35 minutes based on your grill heat. Don't over cook your fish. Cheers...
