Bonefish Grill's Wild Alaskan Cedar Plank Salmon with a Chorizo Topping

This cedar plank salmon recipe is among the simplest salmon dishes I have ever prepared! Its delightful sweet and smoky flavor comes from a delectable grilled salmon rub consisting of brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper...

Cedar Plank Salmon

Another salmon recipe??? Indeed! Perhaps I am merely compensating for lost time, but I am thoroughly enjoying the exploration of new salmon recipes after finally overcoming my anxiety related to cooking fresh fish.

During my upbringing, fish was not a staple in our diet (aside from the occasional fish sticks, LOL), leaving me with absolutely no experience in preparing it. Therefore, I want to emphasize that if I can manage it, anyone can! Simple recipes like this one are the ideal starting point.

This sweet and smoky grilled cedar plank salmon recipe is, without a doubt, the easiest salmon recipe I have encountered thus far. You merely coat fresh salmon fillets with a quick and straightforward grilled salmon rub, which is essentially a simple dry rub made from brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

After that, you simply grill it on a cedar plank and serve... It is incredibly delicious and an excellent way to impress your guests!

Why I Choose Wild Alaskan Salmon

Naturally, I advocate for starting with Alaskan salmon — as all Alaskan salmon is wild-caught, never farmed.

Why is this significant to me? Wild salmon boasts higher omega-3 content, lower fat levels, and fewer toxins compared to farmed fish. Therefore, if I do not see it clearly labeled, I always confirm that the salmon at my local grocery stores is indeed Alaskan salmon.

As I did today when I could not find it in the fresh fish section... The Alaskan salmon season is drawing to a close, making it increasingly difficult to find it on display. However, the butcher behind the counter kindly directed me to some bagged frozen Alaskan salmon.

This turned out to be quite convenient, as the salmon fillets had all the pin bones already removed. While not a major issue, it is certainly a nice advantage!

NOTE: If you are in search of a superb source for wild Alaskan salmon, I strongly recommend ButcherBox's high-quality, sustainably harvested, wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon!

Sweet & Spicy Brown Sugar Salmon Rub Recipe

Four simple ingredients constitute the brown sugar salmon spice rub for this cedar plank salmon: brown sugar for sweetness (as expected!), smoked paprika for a hint of smoky spice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Simply mix them thoroughly with a fork, and it is ready for use.

You can even prepare this straightforward grilled salmon seasoning rub in advance to have it readily available. Just keep it in an airtight container. Then give it a shake before using to ensure the ingredients are well-combined.

P.S. This salmon dry rub is also quite delicious on grilled chicken thighs and/or pork chops, as well. Grill them alongside your salmon for those who do not prefer fish!

How To Cook Cedar Plank Salmon On The Grill

While you do not HAVE to grill this salmon recipe on a cedar plank... it is certainly an enjoyable and unique method to prepare fish, as well as being one of the simplest ways to do so. My children were very eager to try it!

Make sure to use an untreated cedar plank for grilling. I have noticed them on clearance at nearly all the grocery and hardware stores I have visited recently, making this an ideal time of year to experiment with it affordably.

It imparts a distinct cedar flavor to your salmon, so if you discover that it is not to your liking, simply use a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil next time and reduce the grilling time slightly.

Would you like to learn how to cook cedar plank salmon on the grill? There are really just two essential things you need to know:

Ensure that you soak your cedar plank in water for a minimum of one hour prior to grilling to avoid it igniting.

Once soaked, gently pat it dry, and apply a small amount of olive oil to the side where you will place the salmon fillet to prevent sticking.

Additionally, this cedar plank grilling method is effective on both gas and charcoal grills, yielding delicious salmon that is perfectly cooked. This truly is the ultimate salmon recipe for the summer season!

Moreover, it can also be utilized in the oven if you wish to prepare baked cedar plank salmon during the colder winter months. Please refer to the notes in the recipe card for guidance on how to prepare cedar plank salmon in the oven.

How Long Should You Grill Salmon On A Cedar Plank?

Position each of your salmon fillets skin side down on the oiled surface of the soaked plank. Brush the fillets with olive oil and generously apply the brown sugar salmon rub on top. Place the cedar planks directly onto the hot grill grates. Cover the grill and cook over indirect medium-high heat for approximately 15 minutes.

Salmon cooks rapidly, so monitor it closely to determine if it is fully cooked and flakes easily as you approach the 15-minute mark. If you prefer to rely on internal temperature, salmon is considered fully cooked when it reaches 145 degrees internally at the thickest part of the fish.

Once finished, you may serve this flaky salmon directly on the cedar plank or transfer it to a serving platter! A few slices of lemon on the side always enhance the presentation.

Recipe Notes

Baked Cedar Plank Salmon

Indeed, it is possible to bake salmon on a cedar plank in the oven! Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Adhere to the instructions provided above up to Step 3. Bake the salmon at 400 degrees for a duration of 15-20 minutes. It is considered done when it is fully cooked, flakes easily, and attains an internal temperature of 145 degrees in the thickest section of the fish.

Can You Reuse Cedar Planks?

Many of you have inquired about the possibility of reusing cedar planks... Used cedar planks can be reused indefinitely, provided they remain in good condition without excessive charring.

Here are some additional tips for reusing them:

Thoroughly rinse the used cedar planks with hot water, and ensure they are completely dry.

Store the used planks in the freezer between uses.

For optimal flavor, it is advisable to use the same planks for the same type of protein or vegetables each time. Utilizing them for the same recipe is even more beneficial, as they will retain those flavors and seasonings.

When the cedar planks become significantly charred, dispose of them and start using a new plank!

Easy Broiled Dolphin Fillets Recipe

Are you in search of a quick fish dinner that feels luxurious yet does not require a lengthy preparation time? Allow me to introduce this simple broiled mahi mahi! With its perfectly flaky texture and a golden, bubbling parmesan-butter topping, this dish serves as an effortless weeknight meal while also being sophisticated enough for a date night or dinner gathering.

Erica’s Insights

Indeed, white fish is a superb source of lean protein, a fact that has been emphasized by fitness enthusiasts. However, what they often fail to demonstrate is how to transform a protein that is typically lean and bland into something utterly delectable and desirable. Mahi Mahi, along with other white fish, simply requires a bit of affection!

Thus, here is our approach to enhance and infuse flavor, if you will:

Broil, my friends. Utilizing high heat for a brief period seals in moisture and prevents this lean fish from becoming dry.

Generously apply to retain moisture. The combination of mayonnaise and butter aids in locking in moisture while imparting excellent flavor to the fish.

Basic seasonings. Salty parmesan becomes bubbly and golden brown on top, contributing a wealth of flavor.

The other night, my husband and I intended to enjoy Dungeness crab for a little seafood date night after the girls were asleep. Unfortunately, the crab appeared questionable at the store, so we decided against it. We returned home, Ka-La put the girls to bed, and I prepared this simple, broiled mahi mahi! I paired it with my balsamic asparagus and favorite garlic bread, and voilà. We enjoyed it on the couch while watching Severance, which is about as romantic as our lives get these days, LOL.

However, it was truly delightful. This dish is destined to become a staple in our regular meal rotation! It is remarkable how such a straightforward recipe can feel so elegant.

What You Will Require to Prepare Broiled Mahi Mahi

picture of the ingredients needed to make the recipe

Mahi mahi fillets: Mahi mahi is a lean fish characterized by its firm texture and mild flavor. I prefer to purchase wild-caught mahi mahi. I find the individually wrapped fillets in the frozen section at Costco (or any standard grocery store). If you have access to fresh mahi mahi, that is even more preferable!

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper: These simple yet vital seasonings enhance the fish's natural flavor without overwhelming it.

Butter: We utilize butter for its flavor and combine it with mayonnaise to raise its smoke point (as we are cooking at high temperatures). I opt for salted butter, but unsalted butter can be used if that is what you have available.

Mayonnaise: Mayo, being oil-based, is excellent for retaining moisture in proteins due to its high fat content. I prefer avocado oil mayo or kewpie mayo.

Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated parmesan contributes a savory, bubbly finish that enhances the dish. I have mentioned this before, and I will reiterate, purchase the block and grate it yourself! The flavor is significantly superior, and it melts more effectively.

Equipment: A large baking sheet is necessary, and I strongly recommend using a silicone baking mat. It is crucial that the baking sheet is lined, but not with parchment paper, as it will burn under broiling conditions. If a reusable mat is unavailable, foil can be used instead. A broiler pan is also an option.

How to Prepare Broiled Mahi Mahi

Start by positioning your oven rack in the upper third of the oven, typically the second notch down, and preheat your broiler to approximately 550°F. Line a large baking tray with a silicone mat or aluminum foil for straightforward cleanup (avoid using parchment paper, as it cannot endure the high heat).

Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry using a paper towel, then season them with a small amount of salt and freshly cracked pepper before arranging them in a single layer on the baking sheet. In a separate small bowl, utilize a fork to blend the softened butter, mayonnaise, and parmesan cheese until they are thoroughly mixed. Apply this rich mixture generously over all sides of the fish, ensuring complete coverage.

Broil the fish until it attains an internal temperature of 140°F, which should take approximately 5 to 6 minutes. The topping should appear beautifully browned and bubbly, and the fish should flake easily when tested with a fork. If your fillets exceed a thickness of about half an inch, roast them at 425°F for 5 minutes initially, then switch to the broiler for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to complete the cooking process.

Serve the dish hot, accompanied by a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your choice of side dishes. For a gathering, arrange the fish fillets on a serving platter and adorn them with fresh parsley sprigs and lemon slices.

Variation Ideas

Dried seasonings: consider adding a pinch of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or any preferred dried seasonings to the parmesan butter mixture if desired.

Herbal freshness: remember to sprinkle fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill over the finished fish!

Type of fish: this recipe works wonderfully with nearly any type of fish. Consider trying halibut, cod, salmon, or trout. Cooking times may vary based on the type of fish used.

Expert Tips

Keep a close eye: Broilers can differ by oven—remain in the kitchen to prevent burning the topping.

Soft is key: Ensure the butter is adequately softened to blend smoothly with the mayonnaise and parmesan.

Pat dry: Properly drying the fish is essential for the topping to adhere and to avoid steaming.

Don’t overcook: The mahi mahi is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 140°F. This typically took me 5 minutes under the broiler, but refer to the recipe notes for guidance if you have thicker fillets.

Preheat the broiler: Ensure that you do not place your fish in the oven until the broiler has reached the desired temperature. Failing to do so may result in inaccurate cooking times.

What accompaniments pair well with broiled mahi mahi?

Roasted sweet potatoes and carrots

FAQs

Is it possible to use frozen mahi mahi fillets?

Yes, simply thaw them thoroughly in the refrigerator or in a large bowl of cool water, and then pat them dry prior to seasoning.

What is the best way to store leftovers?

Store any remaining fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes.

Can I substitute with a different type of fish?

Certainly. Salmon, cod, or halibut can be deliciously prepared using this technique.

Whether it’s a hectic weeknight, a cozy date night at home, or a dinner gathering for friends, I am confident that you will enjoy this mahi mahi recipe!

Notes

Most mahi mahi fillets are relatively thin (mine were ½-inch), but if you possess a thicker cut of fish, you may need to extend the initial roasting time by 1-2 minutes.

My broiler operates at a single setting of 550 degrees F. If your broiler has high and low settings, select the one that is closest to 550 degrees (most likely the high setting). Keep in mind that all ovens vary, so monitor the cooking process closely!

I prefer to keep this recipe quite simple, allowing the flavors of butter and parmesan to stand out. However, you can certainly incorporate a teaspoon or so of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or your preferred seasoning into the parmesan butter mixture.
