Cedar Plank Salmon with Sugar & Pepper – serves 2
- 2 boneless salmon fillets, skin removed
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
Step 1:
Preheat your grill to medium-high and set it up for indirect grilling and soak your cedar plank fully emerged in water for at least an hour.
Step 2:
In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and pepper.
Step 3:
Put the salmon on the cedar plank and spread the brown sugar mixture generously all over the fish. Place the plank in the centre of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cook until salmon is thoroughly cooked through and opaque, which depending on the thickness of the fish will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
To serve, cut the salmon into portions or serve the fillets on the cedar plank.
