Seared Balsamic-Glazed Salmon

"I usually make glaze and store it for when I need it. It takes a good 45 minutes to thicken balsamic vinegar into a glaze. Just pour any cheap bottle of balsamic vinegar into a stainless steel pot. Simmer it on low heat until it coats the spoon. Cool, then pour into a bottle and use whenever you need it."

-Cook In Northwest

Cedar-Planked BBQ Salmon

"Strongly suggest removing skin from any fish cooked on a plank. The skin will not crisp, and will prevent the aromatics in the cedar from flavoring the fish, which is the main reason for using cedar."
