How to Make Alder Planked Salmon With Soy Ginger Marinade

1. Soak alder plank in enough water to completely cover for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for best results. Drain thoroughly before grilling.
2. Prepare your grill for medium heat (approximately 350-400°F).
3. In a large resealable zip-top bag, combine 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
4. Add the salmon fillets to the marinade bag.
5. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, turning the bag halfway through.
6. Place the soaked alder plank on the preheated grill grate.
7. Heat the plank for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly charred.
8. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and discard the marinade.
9. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the charred side of the alder plank.
10. Close the grill lid and cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness (internal temperature of 125-130°F for medium-rare).
11. Garnish with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons chopped scallions before serving.
