Howdy. Here's How I Grilled Coho Salmon on a Cedar Plank

I just love this video. I’ve never met this fellow, but after I found him on the Interwebs (thanks Google), he helped me and Sim grill up some Coho salmon the other night.

Ages ago, I bought Sim some cedar planks for grilling fish. We’d never used them until, at my son’s request, we got a Coho fillet and started looking for tasty ways to cook it.

I pretty much followed this Paddy’s recipe – except, being a “purist” I mushed mushed up my ginger to slather on the fillet. I also used brown sugar instead of raw sugar. And instead of butter, used extra virgin olive oil.

OK, so it wasn’t exactly like the recipe, but Paddy, aka RangeRider23, is my new inspiration.

We served the salmon with grilled romaine lettuce that we topped with a version of this Food Network recipe for blue cheese-bacon vinaigrette. (I used prosciutto.)

I think I want to try his blue agave steak or his frozen margaritas “guaranteed to take you to ritaville.”
