Ingredients:
- 6 -8 lbs whole salmon, filleted, skin off and pin bones removed , you should have two fillets, 3 to 4 lbs. each
- 1/4 cup canadian rye whisky or 1/4 cup maple liqueur
- fresh thyme ( optional) or sage sprig, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- To prepare Apple Butter Sauce: blend the mayo, butter and tarragon in a bowl and chill until serving time. Makes 2 cups Apple Butter Sauce.
- Fillet the salmon, removing all the bones.
- Remove the skin and pin bones.
- Oil the cedar planks and place the salmon on it.
- Slice through the salmon, from the wide end, lengthwise, to about 2 inches from the tail end.
- Repeat this motion to cut a total of seven strips that are each about 1/2 to 3/4 wide.
- Keep the tail end intact.
- Where the fish is intact at tail end, strips will be narrower.
- Measure out half of the maple syrup and reserve.
- Combine remaining maple syrup with whiskey, or liqueur.
- Brush whiskey mixture all over salmon strips to generously coat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- To braid: Mentally label the strips starting from the left as numbers 1 through 7.
- Starting with strip number 4 lift it over strips 1 through 3, so that it is now on the outside left-hand side.
- Next, take strip number 3 and lift it over strips 5 through 7 (to the right side).
- Now, start again, renumbering the strips from 1 through 7.
- Again, lift (the new) strip number 4 to the far left and (the new) strip number 3 to the right.
- Continue in this manner until you have braided the whole length of fish.
- Repeat braiding steps for second fillet.
- Pat the braided fish into one compact length.
- Either skewer the loose ends together or simply press together to keep in place.
- At this point, the planked, braided salmon can be set on a backing sheet, covered and chilled overnight.
- To finish the salmon: pour the maple butter and reserved syrup generously over the salmon; use a pastry brush to force the liquid into nooks and crannies.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat BBQ to medium heat, or oven to 350°F.
- To Barbeque the Salmon: Place the plank on a grill, over medium heat, on the upper rack, if your bbq has one.
- Close lid (or cover salmon with foil roasting pan).
- Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and internal temp for the fish reaches 120°F.
- Alternatively: Preheat oven to 350°F.
- To roast the salmon in the oven, place the plank on a foil lined, rimmed baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove plank and salmon from heat.
- Dust salmon liberally with maple sugar.
- Salmon may be served hot or cold right from the plank.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if using.
- Serve with chilled Apple Butter Sauce.
