Cedar Plank Salmon with Blackberry Sauce
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + soaking Grill: 15 min.
YIELD: 6 servings (3/4 cup sauce).
Here's my go-to entree for a warm-weather cookout. The salmon has a rich, grilled taste that's enhanced by the savory blackberry sauce. It's a nice balance of sweet, smoky and spicy. —Stephanie Matthews, Tempe, AZ
Ingredients
-
2 cedar grilling planks
-
2 cups fresh blackberries
-
2 tablespoons white wine
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1-1/2 teaspoons honey

Soak grilling planks in water for at least 1 hour.

In a food processor, combine the blackberries, wine, brown sugar, honey, hot pepper sauce, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cover and process until blended. Strain and discard seeds. Stir shallots and garlic into the sauce; set aside.
