Recipe: Fish on a Plank

By HEMN.me 21 Jun, 2022 Post a Comment

The delicate flavors of the fish are richly enhanced by the sweet tang of the wood planks. The mango salsa gives it a spicy flair. Just about any fish will work--I have used tilapia and it turns out well. This is great served with rice pilaf.

Fish On A Plank Ingredients

1 cedar plank
6 (5 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
1 cup bottled teriyaki sauce
2 mangos - peeled, seeded and diced
red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
salt and pepper to taste
teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chipotle seasoning
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce

How to Make Fish On A Plank

In a medium bowl, combine the mangos, bell pepper, green onion, cilantro and jalapeno pepper. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and lime juice. Stir together then cover and refrigerate until serving to blend the flavors.
Soak the plank in water for at least 2 hours, longer if possible. Place the mahi mahi fillets in a shallow dish and coat with teriyaki sauce. Cover, and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using charcoal, arrange and light coals under one half of the grill. Sprinkle lemon juice over the fish fillets and season with chipotle seasoning, red pepper flakes and hot pepper sauce. Place the fillets on the plank.
Place the plank on the grill over direct heat. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Move the plank with the fish over to indirect heat (the cooler part of the grill), cover and cook for 10 more minutes or until fish can be flaked with a fork. Top fillets with mango salsa and serve hot.

Fish On A Plank Reviews

One of my all-time favorites. I used Tilapia for it. So many flavors - nice and spicy. Salsa was so good This was rated a 10 by my whole family. Thanks for sharing this one
Wonderful and easy dish I wanted something quick and easy, so I didnt make the salsa. I marinated frozen tilapia filets from Costco in the teriyaki sauce with some crushed garlic, then I sprinkled the filets with lemon juice and Mrs. Dash Chipotle Seasoning ( left off the pepper flakes and hot sauce) before cooking them like the recipe said. I topped it with fresh cilantro and served with salad and quinoa. Absolutely devine
This recipe was excellent My one comment was that maybe I would use less red pepper flakes or maybe no hot sauce..because this fish was spicyWe also used swordfish which was amazing...just like steak and very juicy from the plank.
I used Tilipia instead of Mahi Mahi, the fish was very mild and sweet. I did not have a ceder plank so I soaked apple wood chips and set them in a aluminum pan to lightly smoke the fillets. The mango chutney was outstanding. I will pass this recipe on to many.
VERY GOOD My husband and I usually dont like fish but loved this. We used Mahi Mahi and used cedar planks. We didnt use the hot pepper oil and it was just spicy enough. Will make again.
This was excellent, my fiance who hates fish even loved it. I made it as my first attempt to cook/eat mahi mahi and I was completely impressed. I was however forced to change a couple things, I had to use mesquite instead of chipotle because our local store didnt have chipotle, and instead of a halepeno i used a mini hot pepper from my own garden as well, I had to cook it in my frying pan. definately cured my fear of mahi mahi and filled everyone, not to mention the mango salsa was fantastic
This was the BEST fish Ive ever had
Made it tilapia, delicious
This is a great recipe. I always have leftovers of the mango salsa so I take it to work to share & everyone raves about it. If you dont have chipotle seasoning you can always used smoked paprika (a very yummy spice)
Everyone in the house loved the fish and the marinade. I would absolutely do this fish preparation again. We werent crazy about the mango salsa. The concept is right on, but something was lacking in the flavor. Ill play with the recipe a little more next time.
Whole Foods was out of Mahi Mahi, so they recommended fresh Wild Black Drum Filet. It was the perfect base for this spicy recipe, and my family likes spicy. The mango salsa was as tasty as it was beautiful. The colors and presentation of this dish was stunning. We had 2 1/2 lbs of fish and used a huge plank which could not be moved from direct to indirect heat, so we just grilled the plank over direct heat for 15 minutes. This recipe is a definite keeper, will be making it again and again, and adapt to whatever looks good and fresh at the fish counter.
I loved this I left out the cilantro because I dont like it. Other than that, I made as is and couldnt have been happier with it. My husband loved it also. He was skeptical, but said it was a high quality meal. Yay I loved the plank cooking also. It seemed so organic
Was not able to plank the fish, but the sauce was amazing, be creative with the sauce
This was absolutely amazing. One of the best fish dishes I have ever had.
FANTASTIC This was a great recipe. I didnt have a cedar plank, but i cooked it on stove w/ a little butter and it turned out great. Be sure to make plenty of the salsa, cause it complements the fish so well
I thought this an excellent recipe. My husband and I enjoyed making this together. All the flavors blend so well. Cozetta
Good.
My wife and I just tried this for the 1st of what will be many times The salsa was pretty much exact except I added celery. We didnt use chipotle seasoning but did use a little rosemary/lime blend by Tones. It was amazing,
This is fabulous We used the Mahi Mahi and while Tilapi would work Im sure, I think that Mahi Mahi really is a much better choice for the recipe. Loved the mango salsa as well. I followed the recipe for the salsa and marinating as given. The one area I changed was the spices AFTER THE MARINADE. I used just a bit of crushed red pepper flakes, ground cumin, and sweet paprika. I think you could really skip that step even if you wanted and the dish would be great. Served with Japanese noodles that I just tossed with a bit of the teriyaki sauce for a simple side dish. This was a big hit with myself, husband, and 18 year old son.
