Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup dark rum; 3 cups water; 1 or 2 cedar planks; 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar; 1 teaspoon ground ginger; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; 2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 lemon, juiced; 2 to 3 pound salmon fillet, cut in 1/2 to fit on plank(s), if needed

Servings: persons

1/2 cup dark rum
3 cups water
1 or 2 cedar planks
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 lemon, juiced
2 to 3 pound salmon fillet, cut in 1/2 to fit on plank(s), if needed

1
Mix the rum and water in a large container and submerge the planks in the water for 30 to 45 minutes, allowing the planks to become soaked.
2
Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, mix together the sugar, ginger, coriander, salt, cinnamon, and lemon juice to create a paste.
3
Spread spice mixture evenly on top of the flesh side of salmon (not skin side).
4
Refrigerate for 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
5
Preheat the grill over medium-high.
6
Remove the fillet from the refrigerator and arrange on the planks, unseasoned side down.
7
Put the planks on the grill and cook until the flesh is firm to the touch, allowing the plank to smolder, not burn, about for 30 to 40 minutes.
8
Once the salmon is cooked, remove planks from the grill, with hot pads, to a serving platter and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
9
The salmon can also be prepared with the same spice rub and baked for 30 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven without a plank.
