July 10, 2008 - Cedar-Planked Salmon

Grilled HalibutYield: 4 servings

1 cedar wood plank, finished on at least one side
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 (6 to 7-ounce) salmon fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup Northwest Berry Sauce (recipe below)

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush the sides of the cedar plank with oil.
2. Place the salmon on the board, and moisten the fillets with a small amount of oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Place the board in the hot oven and roast the fillets until done, 7 to 8 minutes.
Salmon is perfectly cooked when it is still slightly pink in the center of the fillet.
Drizzle the Northwest Berry Sauce on the side.

Northwest Berry Sauce
Yield: 2 cups

1 1/2 cups frozen, mixed berries
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 large chopped shallot (or 2 tablespoons chopped onion)
4 to 5 whole black peppercorns
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 pound very cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Place the berries in a sauce pan with 1/4 cup water and simmer on low heat until the berries are mushy and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

While the berries are cooking, place the white wine, the vinegar, shallot, peppercorns, and heavy cream into another sauce pan. Reduce the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the consistency of corn syrup. Strain out the shallot and peppercorns. Strain the berry mixture into the wine mixture and discard the berry solids. Remove the mixture from heat and whisk, adding the butter 2 to 3 cubes at a time.
