Ingredients

To smoke the salmon:

1 cedar plank, about 12 X 8 inches

For the pineapple sauce:

1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into medium cubes
1/2 cup sweet red pepper, cut into very small cubes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 seeded jalapeño, finely chopped
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Fish

1 1/4 lb fresh salmon
1 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps

1

Place the cedar wood plank in a large bowl. Add enough water to completely cover the plank. Let it soak at least 2 hours.
2

Prepare the pineapple sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3

Remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into 4 equal portions.
4

Coat with soy sauce and brown sugar. Wrap in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to smoke it.
5

Set the grill to high heat.
6

Once the grill is hot, place the previously soaked wooden plank on the grill and close the lid. When a smell of smoke starts coming from the plank, open the grill and place the pieces of salmon on the plank. Close the grill lid and let the salmon cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until it is completely cooked.
7

Place the salmon on individual plates and coat with the pineapple sauce. Serve immediately.
