Ingredients
- 1 large cedar plank
- 2 cups white wine
- 2 pounds whole salmon fillet skin removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
For the Mango Tomato Avocado Salsa
- 1 Mango diced
- 2 green onions finely sliced
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 Jalapeño minced
- 1 avocado diced
- small handful fresh cilantro leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Soak the cedar plank in white wine for 2–4 hours before grilling.
- Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat, about 350°F.
- Lay the salmon fillet on the soaked cedar plank, making sure no part of the fish is hanging over the edges.
- Drizzle the salmon with olive oil, then sprinkle with brown sugar, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Place the plank directly on the grill grates and cover the grill. Cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temp should be 125–130°F.
- Using tongs or a large grill-safe spatula, carefully remove the cedar plank from the grill and let the salmon rest for a few minutes.
- While the salmon cooks, make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine mango, green onions, lime juice, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, avocado, and cilantro. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top the grilled salmon with the salsa and serve immediately.
Notes
- Soaking the cedar plank is the most important step so it doesn't burn! Soak it in white wine or water
