Glaze

  • 3 medium oranges
  • 3 limes
  • 80 milliliters fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 55 grams (½ stick) unsalted butter, cold
  • 1½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 8 grams finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
 
  • 1 salmon fillet (with skin), 1.2 to 1.4 kilograms and about 18 millimeters thick, pin bones removed
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Salad

  • 60 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 heads frisée, about 225 grams total, root ends trimmed and leaves separated
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 large medjool dates, pitted and cut into 12-millimeter pieces
  • 5 honey tangerines, peeled, split in half, and cut crosswise into 12-millimeter half-moons

Instructions

  • Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour.
  • Finely grate enough zest from the oranges and the limes to make 1½ teaspoons of each; set aside. Squeeze 240 milliliters juice from the oranges and 80 milliliters juice from the limes. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat on the stove, combine the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, and honey and bring to a boil. Continue to boil until the liquid is reduced to 180 milliliters, 10 to 14 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, the orange zest, lime zest, and ground coriander. Let the glaze cool completely. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
  • Place the salmon fillet on a large baking tray. Cut the fillet into six individual portions, cutting right down to the skin but not through it.
  • In a small bowl combine the ground coriander, salt, cumin, and pepper. Pour 120 milliliters of the citrus glaze slowly and evenly over the top of the salmon, reserving the remaining glaze for serving. Spread the glaze evenly over the salmon, brushing some glaze between the individual portions. Season the salmon evenly with the coriander-cumin mixture. Allow the salmon to marinate at a cool room temperature for 45 minutes, basting occasionally with any glaze that runs onto the baking sheet .
  • Meanwhile, make the salad: In a small bowl whisk the oil, orange juice, vinegar, ground coriander, salt, and pepper until well blended and emulsified. Stir in the chopped cilantro and reserve the dressing at room temperature. In a large bowl combine the frisée, onion, dates, and tangerines, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. 
  • Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (180° to 230°C).
  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Remove the soaked plank from the water and place it on the cooking grate over direct heat. Close the lid. After 5 to 10 minutes, when the plank begins to smoke and char, turn the plank over and place it over indirect medium heat. Put the salmon on the plank, skin side down, and cook, with the lid closed, until the salmon is just opaque in the center and begins to brown slightly around the edges, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer the plank with the salmon to a heatproof surface. Slide a spatula between the skin and flesh and transfer to serving plates. Spoon some of the remaining citrus glaze over each serving. Gently toss the salad with the dressing and serve it alongside the salmon.
