BBQ plank grilled salmon with Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce

By Cedar Plank Recipes, Fish
This Cedar plank-grilled salmon recipe is easy to fix and totally delicious. Most people wouldn’t think of trying barbeque sauce with salmon, but we think you’re going to like it a lot with Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce.

This Caribbean-style BBQ sauce is something special, created with scotch bonnet chilies, allspice and herbs. It’s lip-smacking good!

 

You’ll need:

Natural Cedar Wood gourmet grilling planks
Salmon filets, skin on
Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce

 

Step 1: Soak your gourmet grilling planks for at least one hour, making sure they are fully submerged.

Step 2: Preheat your grill to medium heat.

Step 3: Use a silicone brush to apply a thick coating of the Reggae Reggae sauce to each of the salmon filets.

Step 4: Place the planks on the grill grate then add the filets, skin down. Close the grill cover.

Step 5: Cook the salmon on your grill at medium heat for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. The filets are ready when they flake easily with a fork.

Top Tip: If you can spare some time, let the raw salmon marinate in the Reggae Reggae Sauce (covered in the fridge) for 30 minutes. This isn’t a must, but a little extra flavour booster.

Courgettes taste great with grilled salmon, or you can serve it with your favourite summer salad. Other ideas that pair well with BBQ plank grilled salmon with Reggae Reggae Sauce are roasted asparagus, green beans, and mashed potatoes.

In case it’s cold and rainy outside or you don’t have a BBQ, here is an alternative. Turn your oven broiler on high heat with the rack in the centre.  Place your salmon on the Cedar plank and broil for 4 to 5 minutes.

Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon with Granny Smith Apple & Jalapeno Salsa

By Cedar Plank Recipes, Fish
With the accompanying sweet and spicy salsa, this beautiful salmon dish might just become an easy-to-prepare family favourite. The sweetness of apples contrasts beautifully with the heat of jalapenos in the salsa, which gives it a balanced and delicious flavour profile. Cooking the salmon on a cedar plank in the oven infuses it with a delicate, smoky aroma. You’ll love this one, we’re sure of it!

Makes 4 servings

You’ll need:

  • Cedar gourmet grilling planks
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, cored, seeded, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • The zest and juice of one lime
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Step 1:

Presoak the cedar planks fully submerged in water for at least an hour. Combine the salsa ingredients in a bowl and let it sit overnight, or at least 4 hours prior to cooking.

Step 2:

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper, then place the fish skin side down on the cedar planks. Bake the salmon until just opaque in the centre, in about 15-18 minutes.

Step 3:

With a spatula, carefully scrape the salmon off the cedar planks, separating it from the skin (it will slide off cleanly). Top the salmon with the salsa and a bit of the cooking juices, serve and enjoy.
