Wild Alaskan Salmon - Cedar Plank Style

Ingredients

  • (8) 5” x 3” lengths of untreated cedar plank
  • (8) 7-ounce filets of Salmon (May choose to cook larger filets on large Cedar Planks)
  • chorizo topping
  • lemon butter sauce

Directions

  1. Soak the cedar planks in water for a minimum of 3 hours before grilling. Note: Cedar Planks for cooking can be purchased at Williams-Sonoma or by contacting Nature’s Cuisine at 866.880.4506 or www.natures-cuisine.com

  2. Place one salmon filet on each wet plank, skin-side down.

  3. Top with 2 ounces of the chorizo breadcrumbs.

  4. Place on a hot fire-burning grill and cover with a metal lid. Because it has been well soaked with water, the wood will smoke, but should not ignite.

  5. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the Salmon is medium-well done.

  6. Slide wood and Salmon onto serving plates and drizzle with lemon butter sauce.
