Cedar Plank Salmon Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cedar Plank

   Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour before cooking to prevent it from catching fire.

2. 2

   Cook the Wild Rice

   In a saucepan, combine wild rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Honey Gastrique

   In a small saucepan, combine honey and white wine vinegar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Salmon

   Preheat the grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and black pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the soaked cedar plank.

5. 5

   Cook the Salmon

   Place the cedar plank on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.

6. 6

   Sauté the Vegetables

   While the salmon is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chef's choice of vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the cedar plank and drizzle with honey gastrique. Serve over wild rice with sautéed vegetables on the side.
