Cedar Plank Teriyaki Salmon Food

CEDAR PLANK SALMON

Steps:

• Soak cedar plank in salted water for 2 hours, then drain. Remove skin from salmon fillet. Remove any remaining bones. Rinse the salmon under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Generously season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay the salmon (on what was skin-side down) on the cedar plank and carefully spread the mustard over the top and sides. Place the brown sugar in a bowl and crumble between your fingers, then sprinkle over the mustard.
• Set grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high. Place the cedar plank in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook until cooked through, around 20 to 30 minutes. The internal temperature should read 135 degrees F. Transfer the salmon and plank to a platter and serve right off the plank.
• Cook's Note: A direct method to grill the salmon may be used. Soak the cedar plank well. Spread the mustard and brown sugar on the salmon, but do not place the fish on the plank. Set up the grill for direct grilling on medium-high. When ready to cook, place the plank on the hot grate and leave it until there is a smell of smoke, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the plank over and place the fish on top. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 135 degrees F. Check the plank occasionally. If the edges start to catch fire, mist with water, or move the plank to a cooler part of the grill.

PLANKED STUFFED SALMON STEAKS FOR TWO

Steps:

• FOR THE THAI CHILI AND MARINADE AND GLAZE: Place all above ingredients into a small mason jar. Shake well. Allow to sit for 20 to 30 minutes before using.
• This makes an excellent marinade for seafood and chicken and can also be brushed onto seafood and chicken during cooking to add a nice subtle flavour and glaze. Keeps well refrigerated for two weeks.
• PLANKED SALMON: Oil the seasoned cedar plank thoroughly on both sides. Place the salmon steak on the oiled plank.
• Using a sharp knife, make an incision through the centre of the salmon steak.
• Dice 4 of the 6 shrimp and mix into the crab meat, followed by the panko breadcrumbs, splash of olive oil and 1 tsp of the Thai chili marinade and glaze. Mix thoroughly and stuff into the salmon steak, placing one whole shrimp on top.
• Brush with a little more of the marinade glaze and place onto the upper rack of a barbeque preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cook for approximately 7 to 10 minutes, brushing two to three more times with the marinade glaze throughout the cooking time. Serves 2.

• To season cedar plank: To reduce the burning of the wood to a point where you can effectively grill on a plank you need to make sure that it has been soaked in water for at least an hour. This will get the wood as wet as it can get and give you the time you need to get your fish completely cooked before the board starts really burning. If you notice that the board has caught fire while you are grilling, spray it down with water to put out the fire. This isn't to say that you don't want the board to burn a little. The smoldering of the wood is what creates the smoke and flavors the fish.
