Ted Reader’s Cedar-Planked Salmon

September 17, 2012 By Jittery Cook 5 Comments

There are many people who, when eating fish, prefer not to notice that they are eating fish. Then there are others who savour every fishy bite. Either type will love this recipe.

Cedar-Planked Salmon is Ted Reader‘s recipe in Napoleon’s Everyday Gourmet Plank Grilling cookbook. If you have the chance to watch him perform BBQ feats, you will become enamered of his style of cooking. The recipe below is slightly modified to suit my taste. Buy the book for the original and for its many other wonderful recipes.

Final notes:

  • A year ago we had a large family reunion and Ted Reader’s Cedar-Planked Salmon was a huge hit. The many compliments and requests for the recipe likely sparked the Jittery Cook blog. Thank’s Ted!
  • I don’t feel too guilty sharing this recipe as it is included in the packaging for the Ted Reader’s cedar grilling planks.
  • The Poissonerie du Marché Atwater provided perfect looking and perfect tasting wild salmon. Yes, you can taste the difference between farmed and wild.

    perfect , I have an Asian inspired planked salmon recipe( soya sauce, lemon juice, Hy’s steak salt, grated fresh ginger,splash bourbon) and have been looking for another variation! I use my convection oven at 500 degrees, with 3 racks of planks – works great for a large crowd

      I hear we benefit from eating salmon several times a week, so it helps to have many great salmon recipes. Thanks for liking and letting me know.
