Salmon Grilled on a Cedar Plank II

This one is adapted from recipe by wore on Allrecipes.com.

Ingredients
  • Cedar plank, 1/2 x 6 x 12+- depending on size of salmon.
  • NW wild Salmon – I prefer King for this one, others work fine too
  • 1/3 c. olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. organic rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1/3 c. soy sauce
  • 1 sliced scallion, approx 1/4 c
  • 1 tbsp. grated ginger root
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
Directions
  • Soak the cedar plank in water 1 – 2 hours
  • Prepare the marinade, insert fish.  Marinate for 15 min – 1 hour
  • Preheat grill to 400 F – high heat on my small gas grill
  • Place plank on grill, salmon on plank, skin side down. I pour some of the remaining marinade over salmon
  • Cook covered for 20 – 30 minutes depending on thickness of salmon.
Additional notes
  • I get my cedar planks from the local lumber yard, much cheaper than the grocery store.  Also, I find it’s possible to re-use the same plank 2-3 times.
  • Alternatives: Diced Walla Walla sweet onion or fresh thyme instead of scallion
