How Do You Grill Salmon On A Natural Cedar Plank?
• Select the appropriate size natural oval cedar plank. The one pictured is 6″x18″ but a 6″x12″ is usually sufficient for most fillets. Soak the plank in water for at least two hours to reconstitute the plank to its natural state, rather like a dehydrated vegetable. • Rub a light coat of olive oil onto the plank to prevent sticking. • Lay salmon fillet or steaks on plank with the skin down • Mix 1/4 cup maple syrup, two tablespoons soy sauce, one teaspoon garlic powder,and the juice of 4 lemon wedges. • Pour 2/3 mixture over salmon. Arrange spent lemon wedges on fillet • Place the plank directly on grilling surface of ready to cook charcoal or propane grill. • Close grill cover and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until done to taste. Drizzle remaining sauce on salmon and serve on the plank.
