Salmon Baked On A Cedar Plank With Hoisin Glaze Recipes

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.

HOISIN GLAZED BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Make the hoisin marinade: Mix the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and garlic together in a bowl. Taste and adjust to your taste (more lime juice if too sweet, more sugar if too acidic).

CEDAR PLANK OVEN SALMON

Steps:

• Soak the cedar plank in water for 1 hour. When it's almost done soaking, begin preheating the oven to 350 F.
• While the oven is preheating, make a brine for the salmon by combining 2 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of salt. Soak the salmon in the brine for 10 minutes while the oven preheats.
• Remove the cedar plank from the water and shake off excess water. Remove the salmon from the brine and gently pat to remove excess brine. Rub the salmon with the desired amount of salmon rub.
• Place a flat rack on a baking sheet (you can line the baking sheet with foil first, for easy cleanup, if desired). Place the soaked plank on the rack. Put the baking sheet with the rack and plank on it in the oven for 5 minutes to heat up.
• Remove the baking sheet with the rack and plank on it. Place the rubbed salmon on the hot plank; if the end of a salmon filet is thinner than the center, you can gently fold the thin end under so that the salmon cooks more evenly. Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached. (Salmon is fully cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.)
• Optional: glaze salmon fillets with melted butter and sprinkle on chopped fresh dill just before serving.

SALMON BAKED ON A CEDAR PLANK WITH HOISIN GLAZE

Steps:

• Stir the hoisin, lime juice, lime zest, honey, garlic and cilantro together in a small bowl.
• Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours and up to 12.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients to make the hoisin glaze. Lightly season the salmon with salt. Spoon the glaze over the salmon so it is fully coated.
• Heat the soaked cedar plank in the oven for 15 minutes to bring out the aroma of the wood.
• Place the salmon on the plank, skin side down.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the oven, until the fillet can be barely flaked with a fork.

HOISIN-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili sauce, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and olive oil in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the salmon fillets into the marinade, and turn to evenly coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove and discard the plastic wrap from the salmon, use a spoon to scoop up the marinade that has collected in the bottom of the baking dish, and drizzle it over the salmon fillets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.

PLANKED SALMON WITH HONEY BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Presoak cedar plank for 8 hours.
• Preheat grill to 400 degrees.
• Cut a few slits in the side of the salmon, but don't go all the way through, halfway. Do the same if using portions. The slits allow the glaze to absorb into the fillet.
• In a bowl mix salt, pepper and dry mustard.
• In a glass bowl, microwave the honey for about 30 seconds to liquefy. Remove bowl and blend in balsamic vinegar.
• With a basting brush, baste the salmon with butter. Apply dry seasoning mix (salt, pepper and dry mustard) on flesh side of salmon and lightly rub it into the salmon(don't tear flesh). I just pat the dry seasoning on.
• With the basting brush baste the salmon with the honey balsamic mixture. Reserve liquid for later.
• Heat the planks on the grill over medium heat for 3-5 minutes to brown them. Watch so they don't catch on fire. Remove from grill and rub olive oil on the browned side of plank. Lay salmon on the oiled side of the plank with skin side down and baste with remaining reserved liquid.
• Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. A thicker cut may take a little longer. If cooking in an oven use a cookie sheet to prevent a mess.
• Note: prep time doesn't include cedar plank soak time of 8 hours.

• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fillet can be flaked with a fork.
