If it’s an easy and unique salmon recipe that you are looking for, this long time favorite will certainly make a great impression on the entire family as well as the most discerning dinner guests.
Ingredients needed:
1 - 15 inch long - by 6 inch wide - approx. ½ inch thick cedar plank
- 2 - ounces sesame or olive oil
- GRILLTAMER™ Master Blend™ Seasoning
- 2 - 6 ounce salmon fillets, with skin on
- 1 - lemon, cut in half
Directions:
- Submerge and soak the cedar plank in water for at least one hour before use.
- After soaking, coat the plank on one side with oil of choice to prevent the meat from sticking and the juice from ½ lemon.
- Place the salmon fillets on the oiled side of the plank, skin side down.
- Liberally coat each salmon fillet with GRILLTAMER™ Master Blend™ seasoning and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Pre-heat the grill on high heat with the lid closed.
- Re-set the gas settings to low.
- Place plank, fish side up on the grill grate closest to the heat.
- Adjust the GRILLTAMER™ to its lowest setting and install it in the grill lid, maintaining a medium temperature (325 to 350 degrees F) for about 30 minutes or until fish is firm and can be flaked with a fork. The internal temperature of the salmon should be between 135° F and 140° F
- Carefully remove the plank from the grill and place it on a cookie sheet or other heat resistant surface. (make sure all hot embers are extinguished)
- Squeeze the other half of lemon over salmon, garnish and serve.
