Cedar-Planked Salmon

TIP: Grilling on a cedar plank is an old Native American cooking technique that is finding its way to households all across America. You can purchase packaged planks on amazon.com or at gourmet cooking stores, or rough it and have a lumberyard cut the planks for you. They are exactly the same, just make sure you use untreated cedar wood. Try this recipe with center-cut pieces of wild salmon. If wild salmon is not available, farm-raised salmon will work as well. And don’t stop at salmon, cedar planks work well for pork, chicken and lots of other types of fish.  Glaze Variations:

Just Dilly: Serve with dill, capers, lemon, and sour cream or crème fraiche. Barbecued: Before removing from the Foodi, brush fish with a thin coat of favorite barbecue sauce and AirCrisp for 5 minutes. Smoked Butter Sauce: Heat up 1 stick unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon smoked hot paprika, and 1 pinch of salt. Whisk together and brush on fish during the AirCrisp cooking time. Citrus Maple Glaze: Mix 1/2 cup maple syrup with the juice of 1 orange and 1 lime. Add a pinch of salt and brush a thin coat on fish during the AirCrisp cooking time.
