Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 lb (675 g) salmon fillet
  • 2 cups chai tea, strongly brewed, cooled
  • 1 - 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 orange

Preparation

  • Soak cedar plank in cold water with a heavy object for at least 2 hours. Remove from water and towel dry.
  • In a large plastic bag, marinate salmon in chai tea for at least 1 hour.
  • Brush salmon with oil. Place skin-side down on board. Top with orange slices (if desired) and prepare according to the following directions.
  • Preheat oven to 450° F (230° C).
  • Lay salmon on cedar plank and place on Sheet Pan.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on thickness of salmon.
  • Oven baking allows use of the cedar plank more than once; simply wash and air dry.
