Drew’s Kitchen- Jake’s World Famous Cedar Plank Salmon

MonthlyNL- DrewDrew’s brought you a few grilling adventures this year, and as we move into Fall he’s bringing you yet another mouth-waterer that proves it’s not time to close the grill just yet…

 

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh salmon fillet (2-4 pounds)
  • 1 Jake’s World Famous Cedar BBQ Plank
  • Lemon
  • Seasoning (optional)
  • Brown sugar

 

Directions

  • Soak cedar plank for at least 30 minutes.  Heat grill to high.
  • Place salmon on soaked plank, skin down.
  • Squeeze lemon over top, season as desired.
  • Spread brown sugar 1/8” to ¼” thick across entire fillet.
  • Place plank and salmon on grill; grill on high 5 minutes then reduce to medium or medium-low for 20-25 minutes.
  • Close grill, checking occasionally that plank doesn’t catch fire. (Keep water handy just in case!)

 

 

 

(Of course, in Portland, there’s only one “Jake” the recipe could refer to.  Drew would like to thank Jakes Famous Crawfish for this recipe)
