Cedar-Plank Miso-Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 fillets skin-on salmon fillets
• 3 tbsp white miso paste
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 clove garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 unit green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 unit fresh lime
• 1 unit cedar grilling plank

Instructions

1. 1

   Submerge a cedar plank in cold water and weigh it down for at least 1 hour to prevent flare-ups on the grill.

2. 2

   Whisk together white miso, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.

3. 3

   Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towel and brush both sides lightly with toasted sesame oil, then season with a pinch of salt.

4. 4

   Preheat the grill to medium-high (around 400°F / 205°C) and place the soaked plank directly on the grates; close the lid for 3-4 minutes until the plank begins to smoke lightly and crackle.

5. 5

   Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the hot plank and brush the tops generously with the miso glaze.

6. 6

   Close the lid and grill for 12-15 minutes, brushing with more glaze halfway through, until the salmon flakes gently with a fork and reaches 125°F (52°C) internal temperature.

7. 7

   If more colour is desired, briefly slide the fillets off the plank onto the grates for 30 seconds to caramelize the glaze : watch closely to avoid scorching.

8. 8

   Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime.
