Ginger Cedar Planked Salmon With Maple Glaze Recipes

CEDAR PLANK SALMON WITH MAPLE-GINGER GLAZE

Steps:

• Soak 1 large cedar grilling plank (15 by 6 inches) in a baking dish of water, about 2 hours; put a plate or mug on top to keep the plank submerged.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle the salmon with the coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the maple syrup, ginger, lemon zest and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
• Remove the cedar plank from the water and pat dry. Place the plank directly on the oven rack and preheat about 15 minutes. Using tongs or oven mitts, remove the hot plank from the oven and place the fish, skin-side down, on the wood. Brush the fish with half of the ginger glaze. Transfer the fish on the plank to the oven; put a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips. Cook until the salmon is just firm and slightly golden on top, about 12 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the oven and change the oven setting to broil. Brush the remaining ginger glaze over the salmon and broil until golden, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes on the plank before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, blend olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard and ginger
• Brush salmon fillets evenly with the olive oil mixture. Place in a medium baking dish. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

CEDAR PLANK SALMON WITH GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, combine the sherry, soy sauce, sesame oil, butter and ginger.
• Place the fish in the marinade for 30 minutes.
• Soak the cedar plank in water for 20-45 minutes
• Preheat the grill at a medium-low setting (300 degrees).
• After removing the plank from the liquid, pat dry and coat with olive oil on both sides.
• Place the plank on the grill with the salmon and shut the lid.
• Leave for 15-20 mins (note: when using whole salmon, the cooking time will increase to approximately 45-50 mins).
• Check salmon on the thickest part of the fillet to ensure even cooking. The salmon should have an opaque colour and be flaky to the touch with a fork.
• Once done, serve with lemon or lime for squeezing over the fish.
