Cedar Plank Salmon Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Cedar Plank

Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent it from burning during grilling.

2

Make the Mustard Butter

In a bowl, mix the softened butter with whole grain mustard until well combined. Set aside.

3

Cook Wild Rice

In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth (or water) to a boil. Add the wild rice, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for 45-50 minutes until tender, then fluff with a fork.

4

Prepare Salad

In a large bowl, combine cooked wild rice, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill in the refrigerator.

5

Grill the Salmon

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill for 3-5 minutes until it starts to smoke. Place the salmon fillet on the plank, and spread the mustard butter over the top. Close the grill lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

6

Serve

Remove the cedar plank from the grill. Serve the grilled salmon alongside the chilled wild rice salad.
