INGREDIENTS

  • 1 6-lb (2.7 kg) salmon fillet with skin
  • 1 cedar plank, sized to accommodate salmon fillet

ASIAN GINGER MARINADE

  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 orange, finely grated zest and juice
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp Asian chilli sauce
  • salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least an hour. You may need to place a weight on top to keep the wood immersed.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the marinade ingredients in a large, flat, shallow glass dish and marinate the salmon fillet, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill on HIGH for 10 minutes.
  4. Pat dry the cedar plank and oil the top side. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it, skin side down in the middle of the plank. Put the plank directly on the cooking grids. Apply HIGH heat with the lid closed until the plank begins to smoke then reduce heat. Grill until the salmon is just opaque at the thickest part. A 6 lb. fillet may take 30 minutes.
