Cedar Plank Grilled Alaska Salmon with Sweet Potatoes
- Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- Cook time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- Cedar Planks (large enough for salmon)
- 4 Alaska Salmon Fillets (4 to 6 oz. each)
- Olive Oil Spray
- 1 Tbsp fresh herb for salmon (Dill, Thyme, or Rosemary)
- Salt, to taste
- freshly cracked Black Pepper, to taste
- 4 large Sweet Potatoes, sliced into wedges
- 1/2 Tbsp ground Cumin
Directions:
Soak cedar planks for 1 to 2 hours (or overnight) submerged in water. Remove and pat dry.
Heat grill to medium heat (400°F). Rinse any ice glaze from Alaska Salmon under cold running water; pat dry with a paper towel. Spray cedar planks and salmon with olive oil spray. Place salmon on planks; sprinkle with herbs, salt and pepper. Place sweet potatoes in a bowl; spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to coat.
Place cedar planks with salmon, and potato wedges onto grill. Cover and cook about 3 to 4 minutes; turn wedges over and continue cooking until potatoes are soft and cooked. Keep warm. Cook salmon on planks 12 to 15 minutes, just until fish is opaque throughout.
