A technique originated by American Indians in the Northwest, planking salmon gives it a deep, woodsy taste and keeps it moist by protecting it from the flames. Simple, delicious outdoor cooking-what could be more Western? Ingredients:
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
2 to 2 1/2 lb. salmon fillet |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 teaspoon butter |
Directions:
1. Soak a large untreated cedar plank (about 3/4-in. thick) in water for 30 minutes. Wipe off water and rub the plank with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Season a 2 to 2 1/2 lb. salmon fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place fillet, skin side down, on the plank and dot with 1 teaspoon butter. Place on a medium-hot grill (you can hold your hand at grill level 4 to 5 seconds) and cover with grill lid. Cook salmon until center of fillet flakes, about 25 to 30 minutes. Check flame level frequently to make sure the plank does not ignite.
