Quarantine Cook 3: Cedar Planked Salmon with Soy Honey Glaze

Posts: 70
First time cooking salmon on a cedar plank. I think the biggest benefit was ease of getting the salmon on and off that grill. Also no fish skin mess to worry about cleaning off the grate. Taste wise I didn't detect any discernable difference from my usual salmon cooks. Rounded out the meal with roasted brussel sprouts and wild rice pilaf.
Soy Honey Glaze/Marinade
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
2 Ts Honey
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 cloves Garlic - minced
1 tsp ground Ginger
3 Ts Rice Wine Vinegar
2 Ts EVOO
1/2 cup Water
Soaked the cedar plank over night. Marinaded the salmon for a few hours prior to cook. Reserved the marinade. Buttered the cedar plan and placed salmon filet on it. Drizzled some extra brown sugar over the salmon. Grilled direct raised at 350 til salmon hit 125, approximately 25 minutes. Boiled down the reserved marinade while salmon was grilling. Thickened up at the end with a cornstarch slurry. The goal was to hit the salmon with the glaze while on the grill, but by the time I got there the salmon was ready to come off.

Nice! I dig that sort of glaze on salmon.
This is a dumb question, but are the planks single-use or does one wash and reuse them? I'm yet to figure this out.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

I tossed the plank after this cook. I've heard it both ways, keeping and tossing after each cook. The plank ended up really warped after this cook, so I'm not sure how well it would have done a second cook. Plus I don't cook salmon often enough to justify keeping it around.
