Cedar Plank Salmon Marinade

YIELD: 1 gal. (enough for 100 lbs. of salmon)

1 bottle Canadian whiskey (750 ml)
4 1/2 cups seasoned oil
2 1/2 cups soy sauce
2 cups chopped garlic
1/4 cup salt
2 Tbsps. ground white pepper
3 cups apple juice
1 cup brown sugar
as desired salmon fillets

1. In a pan or skillet, bring whiskey to a boil and set aflame. When flame dies down, remove from heat and cool completely in a shallow pan in the refrigerator in or over an ice bath.
2. Combine whiskey and all other ingredients. Pour over as much of the marinade as is needed to cover selected amount of salmon, and marinate several hours or overnight.
3. Set salmon on a prepared cedar plank. Roast in 375°F oven until done (time will vary due to size and thickness of salmon fillets).
