Another good topper sauce for salmon:
1/2 c Olive Oil
1/4 c good quality soy sauce
1 Tbs Dijon
Pepper
(Optional) Minced garlic

Whisk all ingredients in a bowl using a fork until you see if come together. Spoon over the top of the salmon.

1st time ever cooking salmon, followed this prep and instructions. Now my family requests me to cook and how I learned. I told them about the video I watched. They can't enjoy this method enough. Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

With the cedar plank make a slurry of brown sugar mixed with either sherry or pineapple juice. Brush it on the salmon then sprinkle steak seasoning on it. Put the lid down and cook till done. Delicious!

Watched this before hosting a dinner party on the patio and followed to a T. Turned out fantastic, 8 guests agreed. Great step by step instructions, excellent video. Thank you 🙏🏻

just made this tonight. Came out great! Tip, to save some time for your next cook, clean the grill grates right after your cook while the grates are still hot. It might just be me but I hate seeing crap from my last cook caked up on the grates.

I went to a Japanese restaurant that served a salmon skin salad that was absolutely delicious. They crisped up the skin and put it over a bed of mixed greens, bean sprouts, grated carrots and other veggies then drizzled with a soy-sesame-miso dressing. The crispy skin was kind of like low carb fish croutons. It was wonderful and oh so healthy.

Terrific video I love your step-by-step and easy to fall along instruction
What about wrapping salmon in tinfoil and putting it on the grill
I personally like the chard ends on the salmon

[zekelucente]

I get a salmon rub from Etta’s at Pikes Place Market in Seattle they popularized cedar plank salmon. It’s a mix of brown sugar and Cajun spices and the salmon comes out with a beautiful spicy sweet glaze. I also want the plank to get charred giving the salmon a mild smoky flavor.
