Pepper-Honey Cedar Plank Salmon

“I live in Alaska and have 3 sons that love to fish. I have had to come up with some pretty creative ways to prepare salmon, this is by far my family and friends favorite way to eat fresh salmon. I soak an untreated cedar plank in water and bourbon while they are out fishing for the day and fix the barbeque sauce so that's it is ready to get grilling.....”

My new favorite way to prepare salmon! Usually people write about how they changed the recipe to make it better, but I wouldn't change a thing. The only thing I do different is use alder planks, because I have a ton of them. Don't hesitate to try this recipe...it will definitely win you over!

I LOVED this recipe. Only thing that I added was peppercorns on top and baked for 25 minutes. I basted the salmon a few times while the sauce thickened and had leftover, so we had enough to dip each piece of salmon in the sauce. SO FREEEKING DELICIOUS! I seriously just wanted to drink the sauce.

I made this tonight for my family. Even my very picky 8 yr old daughter loved it and asked for seconds. I just served it over white rice and with steamed broccoli.

VERY GOOD!! Didn't change a thing. It was a little spicy when tasting alone, but was perfect once on the salmon. It had just the right amount of spicy sweet flavor. I put salmon on top of whole grain rice, then poured a little of the left over sauce on top. FANTASTIC!

I gave this 2 stars cuz the sauce is wonderful..unfortunately, so good, that it cancels out the flavor of the cedar plank. Sauce great on chicken or ribs in the oven or the grill w/out the cedar plank. You can't taste the "cedar-ness" with this recipe. The best I've found so far is a mix of mayo, whole grain mustard (3:1 ratio) S and P and fresh chopped dill (just a tad) spread over top. It brings out the cedar flavor w/out being over the top. I will use the sauce again, just not for this recipe.

AWESOME! I will make this again and again! Yumm! And don't be afraid of the cayenne pepper it's certainly not too strong (my husband agreed and he doesn't care for really spicy things - I do though). We cooked exactly by recipe and on a cedar plank on gas grill! It was out of this world - one of the best salmon dishes I've ever had!

My husband and I love this recipe. Thank you so much. It is a KEEPER! Question: some have mentioned plank salmon cooking using a kitchen oven instead of outside grilling. How do you preheat the plank and cook the salmon without having your home filled with SMOKE?

I made this recipe last night for the wife and I. The taste was excellent. My wife has declared it her favorite salmon recipe to date. I served it over white rice and mixed some of the sauce into the rice as it cooked. I did as some others suggested and brushed salmon with sauce 3-4 times as it cooked. Otherwise I did not open grill at all. Poured a genourous amount of sauce overtop all seconds before eating. Only real modification was that i used a alder plank rather than a cedar.

I am always trying to do new things with Salmon, it is, after all, my family's favorite fish. This was wonderful. So much so, I made it twice in one week, and shared with my visiting parents. Okay, so I don't measure the ingredients, just put in as much as looked good. AND, I used it to glaze the fish about three times while cooking, so there was no need to serve any extra sauce on top at the table. My four year old LOVED it. He's my favorite and most honest critic. Freeze left over sauce to use again next time for ease on week nights.

Thank you for sharing. This was awesome. Instead of grilling; since we are in apartment, I baked the salmon for 25 min at 350 and it turned out wonderful.
