Now we loves us some salmon at the best of times and last night I dialed up a recipe from the manufacturers of our cedar planks (that we use on the BGE) and this simple, simple, simple way of grilling salmon yields a lip-smacking experience like none other. Honestly, of all the cedar plank salmon recipes we’ve posted on the blog, this one was the easiest and possibly the tastiest! Big thanks to the Cedar Grilling Company located in the booming metropolis of Ballinafad, Ontario! Support the local guys that are a five minute drive from where I spent my summers at camp!
Ingredients:
3 salmon fillets from the wet market
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Lemon wedge
Directions:
Soak plank for two to six hours in water
Dry plank and coat top surface lightly with olive oil
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and fresh pepper on plank
Heat pre-soaked plank on BBQ grill for 5 minutes
Place salmon fillets on preheated plank
Grind some fresh black pepper (to taste) and squeeze a wedge of lemon over the salmon
Cook on medium heat (400 F) until salmon is flaky (approximately 15-20 minutes)
If using an ‘instant read’ meat thermometer, the fillet temperature should be 125-130°F (52-55°C)
Carefully transfer the salmon to a serving plate
Drizzle the finishing sauce on salmon sparingly
