Pacific Rim Cedar Plank Salmon
- 1 cedar plank (see Note)
- 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic; 1 minced, the other 2 sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 1/4 pounds salmon fillet (one piece)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound baby bok choy, trimmed and chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1. Soak plank in cool water for 10 minutes, weighing down with a heavy object to keep submerged.
- 2. Heat gas grill to medium or charcoal grill to medium coals.
- 3. In small bowl, stir together brown sugar, soy sauce, the clove of minced garlic and the sesame oil. Set aside 2 tablespoons sauce for serving.
- 4. Once plank is done soaking, place salmon fillet on plank, skin-side down, and brush with half of remaining sauce. Transfer plank to grill and cover. Grill 10 minutes; if plank chars too much, mist with water.
- 5. Uncover grill; baste salmon with remaining sauce. Cover grill and continue to cook 15 minutes or until fish registers 130 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and flakes easily with a fork.
- 6. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 sliced garlic cloves and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add bok choy, salt and pepper and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes, until tender and cooked through.
- To serve:
- 7. Slide a spatula between fillet and skin and transfer to a platter. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons reserved sauce; serve with bok choy on the side.
