I’m a BIG fan of things that have big flavor but don’t require a lot of extra work…such as using herbs, or using a different cooking method [in enters a cedar plank]. Grilling fish on a cedar plank is an easy way to give a delicious smoky flavor to fish.
You can find cedar planks in any grocery store, usually with the grilling items or in the meat section. You’ll just need to soak the planks for at least 30 minutes before cooking so they don’t catch on fire. I just fill a rimmed baking sheet with water and set a coffee mug on the plank to submerge it (super fancy).
While the plank is soaking, mix up the marinade ingredients and set aside. You can prep the salmon by laying it on top of the cedar plank (we leave the skin on), and sprinkling salt and pepper on top of it. Refrigerate the salmon until you’re ready to grill it.
I keep the other ingredients super simple by buying as many things frozen as possible…i.e. the edamame and riced cauliflower (’cause mama ain’t getting her food processor out to grind cauliflower).
The best kind of salmon to buy is Wild caught Sockeye from a sustainable source. I have found good Wild Sockeye both at Kroger and Trader Joes. Also, Costco has individually packaged single-serving Wild Sockeye that would also work!
This sweet and smoky salmon is the perfect centerpiece to a Honey Teriyaki Bowl with cauliflower edamame rice, roasted asparagus and brussel sprouts, and honey carrots. On our plates, we also put a bed of spring mix underneath everything. We also put some sliced avocado on top of the salmon for extra healthy fats (and fiber). Thats 9…NINE…veggies in one dinner!! Helllooo nutrients + fiber.
Full of veggies, super filling, and so delicious!
