How to Make Alder Planked Salmon With Soy Ginger Marinade
- 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.
- Prepare your grill for medium heat (approximately 350-400°F).
- 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.
- Add the salmon fillets to the marinade bag.
- Seal the bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, turning the bag halfway through.
- Place the soaked alder plank on the preheated grill grate.
- Heat the plank for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly charred.
- Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the charred side of the alder plank.
- 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).
- Garnish with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons chopped scallions before serving.
