purbeast Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I have the planks soaking right now just in case she wants to try that method. I can't believe how big these pieces of salmon are though, I should have just gotten one lol. I didn't realize there was more folded under. They are like 1.2lbs each.

purbeast Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Another quick question about cooking salmon - do you let it sit out for like 30 minutes before cooking to get to room temp like you do with other meats? Or just go straight to grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm a little late to the party, but we usually use a marinade that is made up of soy sauce, honey, ginger and orange juice (garlic and red pepper flakes optional - we usually leave those two ingredients out) on our salmon. Toss the salmon in the marinade for as long as we can. We always use cedar planks too to grill it on. Never disappoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just go straight to grill? This is going to be more of a personal preference type question. Some say never to toss it right onto the grill straight out of the fridge as it may cook faster on the outside than the inside. Me personally, I would go 5-10 mins, no more than 15 mins leaving it out at room temp. Edit: updated the times.

Yeah, we usually split a big one, same with bakers or sweet potatoes. I use the Longhorn recipe, minus the bourbon (unless I get one already marinated that way at Publix)...brown sugar, soy sauce and garlic, ground pepper. I bake it for 10 minutes @ 350, then broil for 2. Ends up still medium on the inside. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Yeah so I crushed those salmon filets on the grill they turned out SSSSSOOOO good. I got the grill to like 450 or so and put them on skin side down and kept the top open for like 5 minutes that way. Then I shut the top for about 3 minutes (these first 2 steps I saw from a recipe) and then it wasn't hot enough so I flipped them so that I could get some char on the non-skin side. I cooked them for about 3-4 more minutes that way and took them off. The temp when I took them off was about 125 and they both got up to 131 as the high temp. They were cooked just about perfect for the way we like it. And my wife loved the crisp skin. I am not a big fan of it so I ate just the fish. I was surprised I finished the whole 1.2lb piece lol, although the skin weighed more than I thought it did (as I felt it after I ate everything else). The marinade was very good too. All in all it turned out great. Also, the iGrill thermometer slipped out pretty easily of the salmon as I moved it around. I never had that problem with beef or pork but I feel a spot checking thermometer may be easier for salmon next time. My wife took a pic of her plate but I didn't get a pic of the inside or skin side. The skin side was pretty charred but it tasted pretty good when I had a piece of it. I dunno I just have this mental block eating fish skin lol. My wife only ate 1/2 of hers and as you can see, it nearly takes up the whole plate lol.

AsburySkinsFan Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Great job @purbeast!! Looks awesome! You’re doing it right, cook what YOU like and you won’t go wrong. Solicit advice, but in the end the decision is yours. BTW, asparagus is my all time fave summer veg! Love it on the grill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I actually did not cook the asparagus on the grill they were stove top in a sauce pan. I was focusing on not f'ing up the fish so I did those inside lol. The worst part about asparagus is when you go to take a piss like 3 hours later and are like 'WTF is that smell?? OOOOH YEAH!!!' I do still want to try the cedar plank method though. I could definitely smell the aroma coming off of them yesterday when I took them out of the packet, and even more so after I had soaked them. Next time I cook salmon on the grill I will give that a go, or maybe I will try another type of fish on the cedar plank. I plan to do go rockfishing this year at some point so if I get some nice pieces of meat from there, I'll definitely try those on the cedar plank too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Charleston a week ago, and I bought twp fresh grouper and two black sea bass. Frozen vac-seal right now. I’m trying to figure out how I want to cook them. I’ve got plenty of cedar planks, but then roasting looks good but I want to make sure I get some crispiness. A lot of folks fry them, but I think that leeches flavor.

purbeast Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 How many times can you use the cedar planks before you have to toss them? I'm assuming you get more than 1 use out of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 They'll be fine. @AsburySkinsFan assuming they aren't charred to the point of imparting a bitter flavor, what's the reasoning behind not reusing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s about storage, I don’t use them often enough to refrigerate and store, but with the fish juices etc that soak into them I can’t imagine them molding then reusing.

dfitzo53 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I doubt they'd mold if you dried them out after use. You can also microwave wooden items like cutting boards to kill bacteria and such. To each his own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if charred, you can salvage what's left by busting it up into small pieces, then you can put them in heavy duty foil packs, poke a few holes in them and toss over one of the burners.

NoCalMike Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 When I cook salmon on the grill I like to char the skin side of the filet because I actually like the flavor of it and it almost is like eating a potato chip. Got to be careful about not over cooking the salmon doing it or if you have a good filet knife you can remove the salmon right off of the fatty skin and then cook both sides of the skin. Also, any recipes or marinades calling for orange juice, another trick to get even more powerful citrus? Shred some of the fruits rind or "zest" into the marinade. It was recommended to me once and I never don't do that now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yeah zest is great because the skin of the fruit has oily compounds that contain a lot of those citrusy aromas. Best thing to do is to use a small grater like a microplane to zest them. If you start getting all the way down to the white part underneath the skin it can get bitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried using them as smoking chips though, might give that a go, but I can't reuse them for food. *gag* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
