I'd like to thank Ethan Casucci, VP of Client Services at Thought For Food and Son, for giving me the opportunity to try this wonderful product in my dishes. I can honestly state that Cedar Bay Grilling Company's Planked Atlantic Salmon products are one of the finest products I've ever had the pleasure to test and use for recipe creation in over three years of participating in Blogger Recipe Challenges. Better yet, Cedar Bay Grilling Company takes all the guess work out of preparation when it comes to seasoning and grilling planked salmon. Cedar Bay salmon products come pre-seasoned and ready to be placed directly into the oven or onto the BBQ with little-to-no preparation required.

Bloggers received two free samples for testing and recipe creation: Sugar & Spice 24 oz Cedar Planked Atlantic Salmon and one 24 oz Applewood with Orange & Ginger Cedar Planked Atlantic Salmon. Both flavors are absolutely delicious and a breeze to make.
I created a show stopping recipe for the Entertaining/Appetizer and Grilling Categories as my first entry for the contest, Orange Ginger Salmon Nachos with Mango Pineapple Orange Salsa. My restaurant quality recipe is a showman in appearance, and pops with gourmet appeal to suit all lifestyles and tastes for your entertaining needs.
Wonton wrappers give the recipe an Asian flare, and crunchy texture that accentuates the flavor of the mango, pineapple and orange salsa. The Cedar Bay Grilling Company Applewood with Orange & Ginger Cedar Planked Atlantic Salmon is perfected with crumbled Queso Blanco Jalapeño cheese, and a sprinkle of Furikake Rice Seasoning.
