Salmon, Redux

Tonight, we went with the cedar plank salmon I've previously mentioned. This
time I've got pictures.

We start by soaking the plank (it's about a fifth of an inch thick) in water for an hour or two. Lay the salmon on the plank, and then cover with brown sugar, pepper, and other select spices.


I learned how to tell when fish is done from my father in law. I look for the layers of tissue to begin to separate, so the side of the fish looks a bit like an accordion. In the process, the plank blackens and the sugar caramelizes, then burns. It ends up looking like this.

The finished product. Note the accordion effect.



My wife also made a delicious salad, and we had asparagus.
