Boy, do I have some salmon to share! I have 3 highlights of this dish. My love of black garlic, grilling on a cedar plank, and Sizzlefish salmon! We’ll start with the last one first. I was finally blessed and hooked up with my first Sizzlefish delivery! Imagine the joy when an 11 pound box of wild caught Sizzlefish arrives at your door. It’s a great feeling 😉

I chose the Wild Ocean Blend for my review, which included: Sockeye Salmon, Coho Salmon, Sablefish (Black Cod), Atlantic Cod, and Haddock! 14 fillets of wild, quality fish, all for me 😉 I knew I had to make something special for the blog, with my favorite fish, salmon! So that’s where highlight #2 comes in. Black garlic! I adore my black garlic, and when Frieda’s send me some, I also cry with joy! I knew it would also be the perfect thing to flavor some salmon with.

Black garlic has that balsamic-like deep “kinda sweet” garlic taste. So I wanted to brighten that up a bit more with some fresh, zesty lime juice! Keeping it simple though, I wanted to really let the salmon shine, and the additional flavors to be wonderful background notes for the senses. My cooking method of choice, however, was the glorious cedar plank! I told you about this a few weeks ago, remember? Well, when cooking this salmon, it was my second try at the cedar plank and grilling fish of any kind.

I learned from my first experience with grilling fish and grilling using a cedar plank was that it does not take long. At all. Especially one portion. When I bake fish in the oven, it ranges from 12-15 minutes depending on the fish and the temperature. On the grill, it takes from 5-7 minutes. And as long as you sock the plank for 2 hours (which I did), you won’t start a fire, even when you cook the fish for 15 minutes on the grill :P. Let’s just say that first try resulted in a very dry piece of sad salmon and a BLACK and smoldering piece of wood that would have caught fire if I’d left it a minute longer.

I get freaked out cooking animal products. That’s one of the many reasons why I don’t bake with eggs, etc. But for my chicken and fish, I cook it so I KNOW I won’t die. I’ve eased up a bit of the last few years as I’ve learned more and more about the art of cooking, but I still prefer something over cooked then slightly under. Needless to say, I enjoy grilling fish, and using a cedar plank now! (You can even use a cedar plank in the oven apparently). The smell of the cedar paired with the black garlic…o…this salmon was to die for! And if the smell was that good, I knew the taste would be even better!

Simple but so flavorful! You can make however many pieces you want of course, but I just had me to feed 😉 So Sizzlefish, cedar planks, and of course black garlic, all get a double thumbs up from me! Fermented garlic loaded with antioxidents, omega 3 and protein packed salmon, the tastes, aromas, you’re tummy (and mouth) with love you!

So tell me:

+ Have you ever grilled on a cedar plank? The first cedar plank (the one that almost caught fire), I had to leave on the grill and fling the fish off onto my plate since the plank was…flaming a bit 😛

+ Are you a purposeful over-cooker like myself?

**I received this package from Sizzlefish for my honest blog review…and enjoyment. And boy did I (still am) enjoying all the fish!**

    I have never heard of black garlic. This is something I’ll have to check out, especially with your description of the flavor of it. Plus, I have some salmon and cedar planks sitting here at home and if I pick up some lime I can try this recipe out! Would you make any changes using regular garlic with this or should I just wait until I can find the black garlic?

      Regular garlic would be a totally different flavor profile. You may have better luck using a bit of regular and maybe some balsamic!

    Have never tried black garlic or cooking on a cedar plank. As fate would have it, my brother turned up last week with a bag of cedar wood sawdust for me, so am wondering about trying out a BBQ version of your recipe, if I can persuade hubby that’s a good idea here in the UK in November!

    Somehow I’ve gotten this far in life without ever having tried black garlic. I really want to try it now and this would be a great recipe to start!

      A lot!! Get yourself some! Once you experience the sensations of fermented garlic…your life will be changed for ever 😉

    Wow, this looks lovely. I have never ever cooked on a cedar plank before. I didn’t even know that was a thing!! I am going to have to try that. I am definitely not an overcooker though, especially not where salmon is concerned. I have eaten a lot of sushi in my life and I lived in France for a while where they often cook salmon so its a little underdone and it just tastes amazing like that – so I do that a lot now too and so far I have never got sick from salmon, though I do make sure it’s really fresh!

      Sushi grade fish has to be of top quality, but I’d still never eat raw or anything close to raw when it comes to animal products!

    We try to eat salmon weekly here – because it’s so good and because it’s so healthy – and I’m always on the lookout for a new way to try it. This looks amazing! I’m totally going to get some black garlic and try this out soon. Thanks for sharing!

    We live in both salmon and cedar country. We haven’t caught a salmon yet, but we did get our own cedar planks from a logging area where cedar shake block cutters were getting wood to send to the shingle industry. We split off a nice chunk and have been using it to cook our store bought salmon. – Margy

    I love using cedar planks for grilling. But you do have to watch those flames. I’ve never heard of black garlic, will have to check it out.

    I’ve never bbq’ed with a cedar plank but this makes me want to run out and get one! The thing I can’t stand about grilling fish is that it always gets stuck and so hard to remove– this seems to eliminate that and adds so much flavor. What a beautiful, colorful dish Rebecca…so lovely!

      Really? This doesn’t! Even when you over cook it! Comes off easy as pie (er….fish) 😉
      Thanks Lisa!!

      They are fun!!! At least the second time around, once you know what you’re doing! But so much flavor!

    Might have to go out and get myself a cedar plank….Think you can cook this upside down on the plank? I always find salmon more flavourful and moist when cooked skin side up!

    • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

      Do it!!! As long as you soak it and don’t cook it for….way to long, it’s so much fun!

      If I can cook it…you can 😉 Believe me!
      O, ha! I can’t find black garlic here in NJ 😛 But you can simply order it online…you can order everything online 😛

      It’s amazing!!!! It’s such a unique taste, but SO much better than normal garlic. It’s hard to even call the taste “garlic” at all!
