Cedar-Plank Salmon (Canada)

 



Cedar-plank salmon is a fish dish that involves cooking salmon on cedar boards, a unique cooking method believed to have originally been practiced by Native Americans who used mostly Western red cedar (a type of cypress). Wood planks, which should be free of any surface coatings or chemicals, are typically immersed in water to which coarse salt, juice or wine can be added.

After drying and heating on the grill, the plates are topped with salmon fillets, which can be left intact or skinned. Salmon is typically marinated in oil, spices, and fresh aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme, dill, thyme, parsley, juniper berries, and even fir needles.

Alternatively, the fish fillets can be coated with a mixture of mustard and maple syrup, honey or brown sugar. This unique technique not only enhances the flavor of the fish by giving it a pleasant sooty and woody aroma, but also keeps the water sealed and moist.

This fish specialty is native to both Canada and the United States, specifically British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, respectively.
