Ingredients

• 1 * 1 (15 x 6 1/2 x 3/8-inch) alder grilling plank
• 1/2 * 1/2 cup rice vinegar
• 1/2 * 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 * 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 * 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 * 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 * 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 1 * 1 (3 1/2-pound) salmon fillet
• 1/4 * 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 * 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

Immerse and soak the plank in water 1 hour; drain.

To prepare grill for indirect grilling, heat one side of the grill to high heat.

Combine vinegar and the next 6 ingredients (vinegar through lemon) in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Shake to combine. Add fish; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning once.

Place plank on grill rack over high heat; grill 5 minutes or until lightly charred. Carefully turn plank over; move to cool side of grill. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Place fish, skin side down, on charred side of plank. Cover and grill 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle with onions and sesame seeds.
