Cooking fish, especially boneless Alaska salmon, on a grill plank is an excellent way to enjoy your seafood. Fish is already healthy, and cooking it on a grill plank is easy and really flavorful. The plank gives the fish a smoky flavor without the risk of burning it. Another perk is that the plank can double as a serving dish! An excellent recipe for boneless Alaska salmon is Plank Grilled Sweet Soy Salmon. You can prepare it right from your home with fillets, a grill, and a wood plank.
To make 4 servings of this delicious and healthy salmon, you will need a total of about 2.5 hours, including all of the prep work. Before you use your grilling plank, you want to soak it in water for anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. While it is soaking you can prepare the sauce and fish. The ingredients you will need are:
- ¼ C soy sauce
- ¼ C sake
- ¼ C mirin (rice vinegar)
- 2 T sugar
- 3 T chopped scallions
- 3 T chopped fresh ginger
- 4 boneless Alaska salmon fillets
- 1 thinly sliced lemon
Once you have your ingredients prepped, you can prepare the marinade by mixing the soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, scallions, and ginger in a saucepan. Once the mixture reaches a boil, take the pan off of the heat and let it cool down. Once it is cooled, you can pour it over the salmon fillets in a baking dish. Take the thin lemon slices and place them on top of the fillets. Stick the baking dish in the refrigerator to let the fillets marinate for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Flip the fillets over a couple of times to make sure all sides are absorbing the flavor of the marinade.
When you are ready to grill the fillets, pre-heat the grill to a medium-high heat. The wood plank, which should be thoroughly soaked, can be put right on top of the grill. Let it heat up over the direct heat. After a couple of minutes, move the plank over indirect heat and place the skin side of the fillets on the plank. Cover the grill and cook the salmon for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the fish is done. Serve and enjoy!
