Cajun Flavored Cedar Plank Salmon Recipe
Cajun Flavored Cedar Plank Salmon Recipe
Author: Layton Christensen Omaha NE
Ingredients
- 3 Lb. Salmon Filet
- ¼ cup Sesame oil, (or Olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cajun Type seasoning, (I use Emeral's Original)
- Ground Pepper to taste, (preferably lots!)
- Several sprigs of fresh Rosemary
- 1 Cedar plank sized to the fish
Instructions
- Spray or Brush a coat of oil on the flesh side of the fish, (skin side down).
- Dust with the Garlic powder, Seasoning and Pepper.
- Rub the seasoning into the salmon and spray/brush again. Refrigerate for an hour.
- On a hot gas grill, (you may want to take the grill off, so you sit the plank onto direct flame),
- heat the plank for 5 minutes each side.
- Spray/brush one side of plank with Oil, place fish skin side down on the oiled side of the plank.
- Set the plank on the fire, close grill and let cook, watching very closely.
- Having the grill closed will control the fire somewhat, although opening the grill will occur flame-ups,
- control this with a spritzer bottle.
- Having the plank burn some is desirable, but having it incinerate is not.
- Cook to 140 degrees or less, for more rare.
