Cedar Plank Salmon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cedar Plank

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

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F or 190°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salmon

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillet.

  4. 4

    Place Salmon on Cedar Plank

    Once the grill is preheated, place the soaked cedar plank on the grill grates. Close the lid and heat for about 3-5 minutes until the plank starts to smoke.

  5. 5

    Grill the Salmon

    Carefully place the salmon fillet on the cedar plank. Close the lid and grill for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the cedar plank from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the salmon directly from the cedar plank.
