When I saw the “Cedar Bay Grilling Blogger Recipe Challenge” I immediately knew I had to enter. I absolutely love salmon and jumped at the chance to create recipes that highlight one of my favorite ingredients. I totally did not expect the level of deliciousness of the samples I was sent. It is literally the easiest product I've ever worked with - you open the package, set it on the grill or in the oven and in 20 minutes it's done. For real. That's it.
What comes out is showstoppingly (made that up) gorgeous and the flavor is through the roof. As much as I love cedar planked salmon, I usually forget to soak the boards before I want to use them. This has completely fixed that problem. All the work is done for you and the smokiness from the cedar board and the seasoning blends on the salmon just can't be beat.
For my Entertaining / Appetizer Category entry I took the Sugar & Spice Cedar Planked Salmon and mixed it up with one of my absolute party favorite appetizers!
Cedar Planked Salmon Guacamole
The sweet and spicy flaked salmon has a slight smokiness that pairs perfectly with the fresh lime, creamy avocado and spicy roasted jalapenos. Served with toasted garlicky naan flatbread wedges and tortilla chips, I'm in heaven!
I know this is an appetizer, meant to share with family and friends, but if you decide to make this your meal I would totally understand.

Cedar Planked Salmon Guacamole
2 teaspoons
canola oil
2 jalapeno
peppers
4 garlic
flavored naan flatbreads
6 large ripe
avocados, peel and pit removed
6
Tablespoons lime juice
6
Tablespoons minced red onion
¾ cup
chopped cilantro
1 ½ teaspoons
salt
1 large bag
corn tortilla chips
Pre-heat a grill to 425 degrees. Remove the Planked Salmon Filet
from the wrapper and place directly on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 12
minutes.
While the salmon is cooking, brush the oil evenly over the jalapenos.
Once the salmon has cooked for 12 minutes, place the jalapenos on the grill
next to the plank, close the lid and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes. Remove
the salmon when it easily flakes and the jalapeno when it is well charred and
place on a sheet pan to slightly cool.
Place the naan
flatbreads on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until warmed
through and slightly crisp. Remove from the grill, slice into wedges and place
on a serving platter.
Remove the stem and seeds from the charred jalapenos and
chop them. Using a fork, gently flake the salmon into bite sized pieces,
discarding the skin and plank.
Place the
avocado in a large mixing bowl and coarsely mash them with the back of a fork.
Gently stir in the lime juice, red onion, cilantro, salt, chopped jalapeno and most
of the flaked salmon, reserving ¼ cup for garnish.
Pour the
mixture into a serving bowl and top with remaining flaked salmon. Serve with
warm naan flatbread wedges and tortilla chips.
