The Old Fashioned Cedar Plank Salmon at Bonefish Grill is a popular dish that showcases the restaurant’s expertise in cooking seafood, particularly salmon, using a traditional technique of grilling it on a cedar plank. This method imparts a subtle smokiness to the fish and helps retain moisture, resulting in a flavorful and moist piece of salmon.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of this dish, including calories, ingredients, nutritional information, allergens, and recommendations:

Calories

Calories: Typically around 600–700 calories per serving (depending on portion size and any added sides or sauces).

Ingredients

Cedar Plank: The salmon is cooked on a cedar plank, which helps infuse a smokey aroma and flavor into the fish. The plank also keeps the salmon moist during grilling.
Salmon Fillet: A fresh, skin-on piece of Atlantic or wild-caught salmon, usually about 6 ounces. Salmon is known for its rich flavor and high omega-3 content.
Olive Oil or Butter: The salmon is often brushed with a light coating of olive oil or butter to enhance flavor and keep the fish moist.
Seasoning: The salmon is usually seasoned with a simple blend of herbs and spices. Common seasonings include garlic, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and sometimes a bit of fresh dill or thyme.
Lemon: A fresh lemon slice or lemon juice may be added as a garnish or served on the side, providing a bright, tangy contrast to the rich fish.

Allergens

Fish: Contains salmon, which is a common allergen for people with fish allergies.
Dairy: If butter is used in preparation, the dish may contain dairy. However, many places allow for substitutions with olive oil or other non-dairy alternatives.
Gluten: The dish is naturally gluten-free, but it’s important to confirm that no gluten-containing ingredients (like sauces) are used in preparation.
Possible Cross-Contamination: If you’re sensitive to cross-contact with other allergens (like shellfish), it’s important to ask the restaurant about their procedures to prevent this.

Recommendations

Wine Pairing: The smoky, rich flavors of the cedar-plank salmon pair well with light, crisp wines. Consider a Pinot Noir (light-bodied red) or a Chardonnay (a balanced white wine with enough body to complement the richness of the fish). For something more refreshing, a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio would also work well.
Side Dishes: The cedar-plank salmon is a fairly simple, flavorful dish on its own. Pairing it with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad would be a good balance. Bonefish Grill also offers sides like garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, seasonal vegetables, or roasted Brussels sprouts, which would complement the dish nicely.
For a Low-Carb Option: Stick with vegetable sides or a house salad without dressing to keep the dish on the lighter side.
For a Heart-Healthy Meal: The omega-3 fatty acids in the salmon make this a heart-healthy option, but pairing it with steamed vegetables and asking for minimal butter would maximize the health benefits.

Final Thoughts

The Old Fashioned Cedar Plank Salmon at Bonefish Grill is an excellent choice for seafood lovers who want a flavorful yet healthy dish. Cooking the salmon on the cedar plank adds a distinct smokiness and ensures the fish remains moist and tender. With its rich, natural flavor and high nutritional value, it’s a great choice for a balanced meal.

However, keep in mind the calorie content may vary based on sides and sauces, so if you’re watching your calorie intake, be mindful of those additions. Always feel free to ask the server for modifications (like cooking with less butter or using a different seasoning) to tailor the dish to your preferences.
