Cedar Smoked Salmon

Step 1

Soak the cedar planks in warm water for an hour or more.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and minced garlic.

Step 3

Add in the salmon and let it marinate for about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Start your grill on smoke with the lid open until a fire is established in the burn pot (3-7 minutes).

Step 5

Preheat grill to 225°F.

Step 6

Place the planks on the grate. Once the boards start to smoke and crackle a little, it’s ready for the fish.

Step 7

Remove the fish from the marinade, season it with the onion powder, parsley and black pepper, then discard the marinade.

Step 8

Place the salmon on the planks and grill until it reaches 140°F internal temperature (start checking temp after the salmon has been on the grill for 30 minutes).

Step 9

Remove from the grill, let it rest for 10 mins, then serve.
