Ingredients
- 1.75 pounds Fresh Salmon
- 1 bunch Chives or Green Onions
- 1 count Untreated Cedar Plank
- 1 cup Maple Syrup, Grade B
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Ginger
- 4 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 3 tablespoons Tamari Sauce
Instructions
Step 1
Soak the cedar plank in water for 12-24 hours prior to cooking.
Step 2
To prepare the glaze: Place all glaze ingredients (maple syrup, ginger, lemon juice, tamari sauce) in a small saucepan and simmer until the mixture is reduced to less than 1 cup. This typically takes about 1 hour. The glaze can be made a day or two in advance; reheat before use.
Step 3
Place the soaked cedar plank on a hot grill and let it blacken on one side for about 15 minutes, until you hear it start to crackle. Once it is blackened, turn the plank over.
Step 4
Lay the chives or green onions on the plank, then place the salmon on top. Pour half of the prepared glaze over the salmon. Close the grill lid and cook on medium to high heat until the salmon is cooked through, approximately 10 minutes. Keep a spray bottle of water nearby in case the plank starts to burn.
