Ingredients

  • A duo of raw cedar planks
  • A splash of tropical pineapple nectar, a quarter cup to be exact
  • A generous portion of savory soy sauce, one-third of a cup
  • Two spoonfuls of pure white vinegar
  • Two tablespoons of zesty lemon juice
  • A drizzle of rich olive oil, one tablespoon should do
  • A blend of sweet honey, three-quarters of a cup
  • A measure of packed brown sugar, one-quarter cup
  • A hint of bold black pepper, ground to perfection
  • A touch of fiery cayenne pepper, half a teaspoon
  • A dash of smoky paprika, half a teaspoon as well
  • A sprinkle of aromatic garlic powder, a quarter teaspoon
  • Six tender salmon fillets, each weighing six ounces and free of skin and bones
  • A pinch of salt and pepper for the finishing touch

Step 1

Begin by soaking the cedar planks in warm water for 1 to 2 hours, infusing them with moisture for a unique cooking experience. For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon to the soaking water.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare a luscious sauce by simmering a blend of pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and incorporate sugar, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, allowing the mixture to thicken into a syrupy texture through gentle simmering for approximately 15 minutes. Once done, set the flavorful sauce aside for later use.

Step 3

As the planks are being infused, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat, creating the perfect cooking environment. When the cedar planks begin to release a subtle smoke and crackling sound, they are ready for the next step.

Step 4

Prepare the salmon fillets by seasoning them lightly with salt and pepper, enhancing their natural flavors. Gently place the fillets on the smoky cedar planks, close the grill lid, and let them cook for 10 minutes, allowing the cedar's aroma to infuse into the fish. Drizzle a touch of the prepared sauce over the fillets, and continue grilling until the salmon turns opaque in the center, approximately 5 minutes more.

Step 5

Once cooked to perfection, serve the cedar-plank grilled salmon with a generous drizzle of the remaining flavorful sauce for a delightful culinary experience.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep it Fresh: Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator to ensure it stays fresh and delicious.
  2. 2. Freeze for Later: If you want to save some for another day, consider freezing the salmon. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag.
