This is a dish my brother prepared for me in Seattle. Salmon is smoked by cooking it on a cedar plank. It is by far the best salmon I've ever eaten. I like to serve with an Asian inspired rice and roasted asparagus.

Pepper-Honey Cedar Plank Salmon

Home Town: Clearwater, Florida, USA

Living In: Eagle River, Alaska, USA

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.....

Living In: Kapaa, Hawaii, USA

Seal in flavor and juices with this novel way of cooking roast beef. Wrapped in a salt batter, the beef's moisture and natural juices are sealed in keeping the meat extra tender and delicious. Make au jus separately since the roast's drippings will be too salty to use.

Cherry Balsamic Short Ribs

Submitted by: foodlover83

Home Town: Arlington, Washington, USA

Living In: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

Beef short ribs are full of connective tissue, but they give up their flavor and luscious tenderness when coaxed by a long, slow cook in flavorful liquids like this cherry and balsamic vinegar sauce enriched with fennel. A cast iron Dutch oven or heavy enameled pot will be perfect to cook this gourmet dish.

Alder Plank Smoked Salmon

Submitted by: Smokin' Ron

This smoked salmon derives its flavor from Alder wood planks. I get these planks at the local lumber yard. Be sure you tell whoever helps you that you are cooking salmon on the wood so that you do not get any creosote wood or other treated wood. Also, make sure you know what plank size will fit in your smoker before you go to get the wood. This salmon will come out very moist and smoky, so be prepared for some of the best smoked fish you've ever eaten!
