Cedar Plank Salmon
All natural Western Cherry BBQ chips and Cedar grilling planks infuse amazing flavor in this recipe for grilled Cedar Plank Salmon.
Ingredients:
1 LB center-cut salmon, skin on¼ cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzlingPinch of sea salt10 shishito peppers, thinly slicedCracked black pepper2 lemons, quartered
Directions:
- Soak the cedar planks in cold water for a minimum of 3 hours, up to a maximum of 24 hours.
- Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- For a gas grill, preheat to medium-high and place Western Cherry Wood Chips in a smoking tray or arrange in a foil pack and place directly over the hottest part of the grill. For a charcoal grill, prepare a fire and then place a handful of Western Cherry Chips directly on your hot coals or place chips in a smoking tray and place on the grill.
- When the grill is hot and the chips are smoking, place the wet plank on the grill and leave it there for 6-8 minutes until the wood is charred on one side.
- Turn the plank over. Place the Salmon, skin side down on top of the charred side of the plank. Sprinkle with the sliced peppers and cook for 15-20 minutes until the salmon is cooked. Times may differ depending on the thickness of the fish, so check for doneness by inserting a sharp knife into the flesh - the flesh should be opaque in the middle. For best results, at least half of the cooking time should be with the lid closed to infuse the wood chip flavor.
- Serve on the plank with lemons and drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
