Fish is a favorite in our house. The boys like it so does my husband. Well OK this recipe is more for the grown up crowd rather then for kids, for them I made just some sole without the whisky marinade.
For this marinade the recipe calls for Canadian whisky ( rye) but any whisky will do or if you prefer cognac that will work too. The cedar planks are usually sold in supermarkets ( in the barbecue area) or you can use untreated cedar planks from the local hardware store.
Ingredients
Cedar planks 2
water as much as need it
Whisky marinade
1. Canadian whisky 1 cup
2. Maple syrup 1/2 cup
3. Soy sauce 1/3 cup
4. Olive oil 1/4 cup
5. Parsley flakes ( fresh) 1/4 cup finely chopped
6. Sweet or regular chili sauce 3 tbsp
7. Pepper 1/2 tsp
Salmon fillets ( about 4 oz each) 8
or you can use side of a salmon skin removed and cut into 8 equal pieces ( 2 lb.)
Place cedar planks in a large container , add enough water to cover. Weight planks with heavy cans to keep submerged. Let stand for 6 hours or overnight to soak.
Whisky marinade
Combine the 7 ingredients into a bowl. Mix well.
Place the salmon into a shallow dish and pour marinade over top. Turn until coated. Cover.
Marinade in the fridge for 30 minuted turning occasionally.
Drain and discard marinade.
Heat the barbecue to medium low. Place the salmon onto prepared cedar planks on ungreased grill. Close lid and cook for 15 to 30 minutes until salmon flakes easily when tasted with a fork.
Serve with your favorite side dish. Enjoy!

That marinade looks wonderful! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and am happily familiar with the taste that cedar planking provides to salmon. I definitely recommend it!
WOnderful idea that to use Whisky for a marinage!
thank you Cookin' Canuck,
I agree with you, the cedar plank does give a special flavor to the salmon.
Thank you Mathilde,
It is not your usual marinade the one with whisky.

Hi Rekha,
The taste of the cream cheese is suppose to be there but not overpowering. I'm glade that the calzones came out good. For the salmon I recommend making it in the oven better, but I'm not sure if the marinade works for Kenny although the alcohol cooks out the flavor is still there.
wow! that salmon looks divine, I love the little specks of parsley on the salmon. What a beautiful dish!
Thanks Jessie,
I'm not very good at taking pictures, but the salmon looks good.
We love to use cedar planks-so easy, and they impart wonderful flavor. Some sesame noodles with cucumber would be an excellent accompaniment to this salmon dish!
The noodles with cucumber would work great with the salmon dish. Yummy!
I'm a fan of recipes that call for alcohol, any kind of alcohol. This recipe is great and I like using plank as well. Thanks for sharing the recipe
Thank you Janice,
I like recipes that call for alcohol too, tenderizes the meat.
I love this! This dish is beautiful and it looks delicious!
Thank you Karine.
Love Cedar planked Salmon - adding whiskey will certainly make it even better. What an Idea!
Thank you Diana,
The cedar plank does add a certain flavor to it.
I made this the other day. It was terrific. I made extra marinade and used it to stir fry veggies to go with the salmon. Yum.
I hope you don't mind that I linked your recipe to my blog post.
Of course I don't mind. Thank you for the feedback:)
