1. Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat.
|
|
2. Rinse and pat dry salmon fillets. Combine 1 teaspoon sugar, chili powder, black pepper, salt and allspice in small bowl. Rub evenly over flesh side of fillets. Set aside.
|
|
3. Combine remaining 1 teaspoon sugar, lemon, lime and orange juices, ginger, mint and red pepper flakes in medium bowl. Set aside.
|
|
4. Thread mango pieces onto skewers or spread out in grill basket.
|
|
5. If using charcoal grill, wait until coals are covered with gray ash to start grilling salmon. If using gas grill, turn heat down to medium. Keep clean spray bottle filled with water nearby in case plank begins to burn. If it flares up, spray lightly with water.
|
|
6. Lightly brush grid with oil and place soaked plank on top. Cover, heat until plank smokes and crackles. Place salmon, skin side down, on plank and arrange mango skewers alongside plank. Cover. Grill 6 to 8 minutes, turning skewers frequently, until mango is slightly charred. Remove mango from the grill. Set aside. Cover grill. Continue grilling the salmon 9 to 12 minutes, without turning or until the flesh begins to flake when tested with fork.
|
|
7. Remove plank from grill and transfer salmon to serving platter. Slide mango pieces off skewers and add to mint mixture, tossing gently to coat. Serve immediately alongside salmon.

Tip
Cedar planks can be purchased at gourmet kitchen stores or hardware stores. Be sure to buy untreated wood at least 1/2-inch thick. Use each plank for grilling food only once. Used planks may be broken up into wood chips and used to smoke foods.
