Cedar Plank Grilled Sesame Salmon with Kimchi Miso Butter and Grilled Tomatoes.

unsalted butter (softened, 8 tablespoons)

yellow miso paste (use 1 tablepoon for a less salty butter)

kimchi * (optional)

basil (chopped)

cedar plank

+ 1 tablespoon soy sauce

ginger

garlic (minced

heirloom cherry tomatoes or regular cherry tomatoes

olive oil (for drizzling)

salt + pepper (to taste)

Add the butter, miso, kimchi (if using) and basil to a bowl and mix until well combined. If not using right away, store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Miso Butter

Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling, but 2-4 hours is ideal.

Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, the ginger and garlic. Add the salmon to a ziplock bag or Pyrex pan and pour the marinade over the salmon. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Heat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat, about 350 degrees F.

Remove the salmon from the marinade and lay the whole salmon filet on top of the cedar plank, making sure none of the salmon is hanging off. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the cedar plank on the grill and cover the grill. Grill for about 12-15 minutes and check for doneness. The salmon is done when it's uniformly pink in the center.

Using a large spatula, remove the cedar plank salmon and transfer to a flat surface to rest.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil and the sesame seeds. Brush the salmon with the honey glaze, reserve any extra for serving.

Salmon

Make sure your grill is hot (it should already be on from cooking the salmon). Thread the tomatoes on skewers and rub with olive oil, salt + pepper. Place on the hot grill and grill for about 5 minutes, rotating the skewers every 2-3 minutes.

Grilled Tomatoes

Dollop the salmon with the miso butter and serve alongside the grilled tomatoes. Garnish with fresh basil and sesame seeds. Serve with any remaining honey glaze

Furikake Salmon has become one of my favorite meals.  It's easy to put together and always so satisfying. I've made it a number of times and never tire of it.

I made this for a birthday celebration along with the Kyoto yams and Asian cucumber salad and it was incredible and felt very special. Thank you for these straightforward yet show-stopping recipes. I can’t wait to explore more!

Excellent! We loved it and will be making it again and again. I didn’t measure anything but used the recipe as reference and it was wonderful! Thanks as always for your tasty recipes!

It’s one of those recipes I crave! Perfection.  Thank you for all the wonderful recipes!!

This recipe turned out just like the picture. It is so good and one of my favorites now. Also it makes me look more experienced in the kitchen than I actually am. Thank you.

This looks amazing!  I can't wait to try it this week over some soba!

This is my go-to recipe that everyone in my family loves! One thing I do is cut the fish in 1 or 1.25 inch thick pieces then 
place the salmon in the pan skin-side down first, let the oil from the fish render out a bit, and then flip it just until the glaze is nice and shiny on all four sides. I like to cook it briefly, just until the fish is barely done so I don't overcook it. We like our salmon tender, flaky, and not at all dry. Love all your recipes!

This Furikake Salmon is fabulous! So satisfying and healthy. My husband isn’t a big fan of fish, but he devoured this salmon dish. Definitely making this again. So many great recipes on this site.

This was absolutely delicious and I didn’t even have the furikake! I used rice noodles instead of rice. I’ll have to get the furikake and try that too.
