Cedar Planked Salmon With Maple Glaze & Mustard Mashed Potat

"This recipe is a little different in that the cedar planked salmon is baked in the oven rather than on the grill. Many grocery or hardware stores sell the untreated cedar planks. It truly adds a wonderful flavor to the salmon!"

directions

  • Salmon:

  • In a small heavy saucepan simmer maple syrup, ginger root, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until reduced to about 1 cup, about 30 minutes.
  • Let cool.
  • (Maple glaze may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring maple glaze to room temperature before proceeding).
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • If using a cedar plank, lightly oil and heat in middle of oven 15 minutes; or lightly oil a shallow baking pan large enough to hold salmon.
  • Arrange scallion greens in one layer on plank or in baking pan to form a bed for fish.
  • In another small saucepan heat half of glaze over low heat until heated through to use as a sauce.
  • Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  • Remove pan from heat and keep sauce warm, covered.
  • Put salmon, skin side down, on scallion greens and brush with remaining glaze.
  • Season salmon with salt and pepper and roast in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 20 minutes if using baking pan. Bake for about 35 minutes if using plank.
  • Cut salmon crosswise into 6 pieces. On each of 6 plates arrange salmon and scallion greens on a bed of mashed potatoes.
  • Drizzle salmon with warm sauce.
  • Mustard Mashed Potatoes:

  • In a 5 quart kettle cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2-inches and simmer until tender, 35-45 minutes.
  • While potatoes are simmering, in a small saucepan heat milk with butter over moderate heat until butter is melted.
  • Remove pan from heat and keep milk mixture warm, covered.
  • In a colander drain potatoes and cool just until they can be handled.
  • Peel potatoes, transferring to a large bowl.
  • Add mustard, salt and pepper to taste, and 3/4 hot milk mixture and with a potato masher; mash potatoes until smooth, adding more milk mixture if necessary to make them creamy.
  • Potatoes may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before being chilled in a buttered ovenproof dish, covered. Bring potatoes to room temperature before reheating, covered.

  1. Nobody would believe it if I told them that Toolbet Diva MAILED me a cedar plank years back so that I could make her planked salmon recipe, but she really did and I still have it (although it shows a lot of wear and tear). I brought it out from the depths of a cupboard and soaked it to use in this recipe, and I made a great choice! The salmon was delicious in its marinade/sauce, and the potato mash had a great 'bite' from the mustard. LOVED this for dinner.
     
  2. Made this delicious salmon tonight for dinner. I did not have the cedar plank so we baked it without one. I scaled the recipe down quite a bit as we were only making two 6 oz portions. DH raved about the salmon as the it turned out really nice and flavorful.
