OOH. Do you smoke the salmon on a ceder plant? That is the way I like it.
Ha ha. I don't have any cedar plants. They grow in Muir Woods. Duh, it's just a typo.
No, I don't have a cedar plank nor do I have a smoker.
It would be loverly done the way you like it. You have to have a manly man around to manage a smoker. I know I could have done it but things are getting too hard for me.
I do love smoked salmon yum yum yum home smoked. I think you wet the plank and the smoker is a much lower temperature for slow cooking and moistness. The kind you buy is strong and greasy lately. I don't have a manly man that goes fishing either, especially coho salmon, don't know if they are in the great lakes any more. I like the red wild the best but I'll take what I can get.
There is some red Canadian trout I can get sometimes and it tastes a lot like salmon to me. It may be farm raised.
You don't know how I would love to try it your way. I used to buy a whole big filet of salmon, bake it, eat it, share it if anybody here, store in fridge. Then I love it cold and eat some every day until it is gone. I have had a guy rave over my salmon though. It was sitting on the stove and he sheepishly asked if he could have some lol. Of course. A guy my daughter knew.
I am lucky now to get just some smaller pieces. I could splurge I guess but it's hard to get used to the inflated prices for food. Thank heaven we have a store, a couple actually, to get fresh fish, I love around the holidays when they have more choices.
I never do salmon the exact same way always but did submit a recipe to one of those cooking sites. People liked it but I was using a combo of butter and margarine to baste and add flavor. I think the olive oil will be better and healthier. I'm not used to cooking with it.
