Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Cedar Plank

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

2. 2

   Prepare the Salmon

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the salmon fillets and let them marinate for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Fingerling Potatoes

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the fingerling potatoes with olive oil and salt, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden.

4. 4

   Prepare the Broccolini

   In a pot of boiling water, blanch the broccolini for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cooled, toss with lemon zest, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Grill the Salmon

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill for about 5 minutes until it starts to crackle and smoke. Place the marinated salmon on the plank and grill for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the salmon with crispy fingerling potatoes, lemon Parmesan broccolini, and a generous dollop of house garlic aioli.
