Description
This is a dish my brother prepared for me in Seattle. It is by far the best salmon I’ve ever eaten. I like to serve it with an Asian-inspired rice and roasted asparagus.
Ingredients
- 3 (12 inch) untreated cedar planks
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 (2 pound) salmon fillets, skin removed
Instructions
- Soak cedar planks for at least 1 hour in warm water. Soak longer if you have time.
- Stir together soy sauce
- vegetable oil
- rice vinegar
- sesame oil
- green onions
- ginger
- and garlic in a shallow dish.
- Place salmon fillets in soy mixture and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes
- or up to 1 hour refrigerated.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Place planks on the grill grate. Heat planks until they start to smoke and crackle just a little.
- Remove salmon from marinade and place on planks; discard marinade.
- Close grill cover. Grill salmon until it flakes easily with a fork
- about 20 minutes; salmon will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill.
