Cedar-Plank Salmon
Grillers, fish, wood, fire – yes! All the ingredients for a Sunday afternoon barbecue feat! Grilling enthusiasts are easy to please when it comes to what’s on the grill as long as we have quality ingredients. Give us a fire, and we will thoroughly enjoy cooking and devouring whatever we can roast over the flame. Try Cedar-Plank Salmon - a wonderfully simple and natural way to celebrate the grill and enjoy great food on a relaxing afternoon.
We begin with fresh salmon fillets with the skin on and a cedar plank soaked in water for 20 minutes. By cooking the salmon fillet on the cedar plank, all that natural and smoky flavor will be infused into the salmon. We add a sweet and fragrant note with a glaze of brown sugar, oil, thyme, and cayenne pepper brushed over the fillet just before placing it on the grill. Super easy and beautiful, this dish is a recipe for success and especially suited using our hybrid Muscle Grill. Whether you want to prep the fire with charcoal, hardwood, gas, or all three, the Muscle Grill can do it all. So, fire up the grill, grab a refreshing drink and get ready for a lazy afternoon.
