Ingredients

  • 3 12" untreated cedar planks
  • cup vegetable oil
  • tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger root
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 2 lb salmon fillets with the skin removed

Instructions

  • Soak planks in warm water for at least an hour; the longer the better.
  • Stir vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, green onions, ginger root and garlic in a shallow dish. Place salmon in the dish and leave in for 15 minutes to an hour to marinate.
  • Heat outdoor grill to medium heat and place planks on the top. When boards start to smoke and crackle, add the salmon discarding the marinade.
  • Cover salmon and grill about 20 minutes. The fillets will be ready when you can flake them with a fork.
