Plain simple plank salmon

Just because any BGE cook is worth a standalone post..plank salmon!
2 hours marinade in vin santo (a sweet dessert wine), EVO and casual rub mix.
300 F or so for 40 minutes, pulled at 125 and served at 135 F.
Simple and effective.



Let's see if a GIF works fine

Have a great weekend everyone!

    Very nice.  One issue though, I see four plates and three slices of salmon?  I hope you got one of them.

    Very fine eye!
    My son hates fish. I cooked a hamburger for him. Unusually, on the bge, which I don't normally use to cook burgers

    Absolutely correct regarding stand alone cooks.  You nailed that cook.  Filming and cutting at the same time. Bonus points.

    My beautiful wife and I have used an alder plank of two over the years with salmon. You can marinate it in anything, and put it on the grill, and with a watchful eye, you can serve up a pretty nice meal, as you have done. 

    Your presentation looked outstanding! Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks everyone for the kind comments, I'm glad that even such a simple cook garnered this much attention. It was really a last-minute cook squeezed into a very busy day.
    @YukonRon I also try to recycle those planks. I just soak in water and rub with olive oil, then handwash and dry in the sun after the cook.

    If nothing else a plank has two sides. I am going to have to go surf fishing sometime.
