This is one of the simplest and best salmon recipes ever. This cedar wrapped salmon is a great dish for those on a low-salt diet. You can also use it as a marinade for anything from chicken to vegetables. The main ingredient in this recipe is salmon, but you can also use other fish, like halibut.
Method
The first thing that needs to be done is to prepare the cedar. Lightly sand it down so it’s smooth. Then, take it outside and put it in the sun to dry. After a few days, it should be good to go. Now, you’re going to want to soak it for 3 hours in cool water. After it’s soaked, rinse it out and let it dry in the sun. Next, take a wire baking rack and put it over the cedar. Lay the salmon on the rack. Wrap it with a piece of aluminum foil, leaving a small opening so that the fish can breathe. Cook it on a grill for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
Ingredients
For this recipe, we are using Cedar Cured Salmon. Cedar Cured Salmon is a salmon that has been cured using a natural method. While curing the salmon, the salmon will be encased in cedar, a small piece of wood that is soaked in cedar oil. The cedar oil is a preservative that helps to preserve the salmon. The cedar oil also acts as a flavor and odor to the salmon. When you are purchasing your salmon, you want to make sure that it is fresh. It should be a pink color and its smell should be fresh and not fishy. Most grocery stores carry fresh salmon. For this recipe, you are going to be using 3 cups of cedar wrapped salmon.
Why should you eat this way
Cedar-wrapped salmon is a traditional method of preserving salmon that has been used for hundreds of years. Traditional salmon recipes recommend placing whole salmon in wood barrels filled with cedar chips. After a week or two, the salmon is removed from the barrels, cleaned and ready to eat. However, this traditional method of preserving salmon is no longer required. There are currently better methods of preservation, and salmon is one of the foods that can benefit from them. One of the most common methods of preservation is freezing. The cedar used in preserving salmon has been shown to be effective in maintaining the salmon’s taste. Plus, some of the benefits of cedar are that it is one of the most affordable woods to buy. It is also an environmentally friendly wood that is resistant to insects. Lastly, it can also help clean the air in your home.
Result
Cedar wrapped salmon is a bit more difficult to find than the traditional way of cooking salmon. But the results are delicious and don’t require a high-end grill.
Preparation
The first thing to do is to soak the salmon in an ice water bath for 30 minutes. This will stop the cooking process and allow the salmon to firm up a bit. After soaking, drain the water, pat dry with a paper towel and place the salmon in a large freezer bag. You’ll want to make sure you have a good seal on the bag. Freezing will make the salmon dry out a bit, so it’s best to put the bag in the fridge to soften a bit before cooking. Then place the salmon in the freezer for a minimum of two hours. Remove the salmon from the freezer and place in the refrigerator.
