Chef Kasperek's Cedar Planked Salmon Recipe


As the grilling season approaches, I start thinking cedar planks which you can find almost anywhere now in places like Costco, Wegman’s or even Home Depot.  




Cedar planks produce a nice smoky flavor for your dishes, add moisture and provide a smooth, even surface for delicate items like fish fillets. 

Cedar Planked Salmon
- 2 Cedar Planks soaked in apple juice 1 hr.
- Chef Kasperek’s Rub
- 4 tbsp kosher salt
- 4tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp basil
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp tarragon
- 1 tbsp cilli or ancho powder
- Mix all together and rub on top of salmon portions 1hr before grilling

Orange teriyaki Mop sauce
- 1 bottle teriyaki 8oz
- ½ cup orange juice 
- ¼ cup sugar
- Mix and bring to boil chill and set aside
- Fire grill up on high. Place planks on grill and when they began to crackle, place salmon seasoned side up and use mop sauce to prevent flare ups and planks catching on fire. Grill until fish is flaky and opaque (or however you desire). 
Serve on top quick pickled cucumber salad.
