Cedar Plank Salmon Recipe

Cedar Plank Salmon Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cedar Plank

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

2. 2

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. 3

   Cook the Potatoes

   Toss fingerling potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender, turning halfway through.

4. 4

   Prepare the Broccolini

   Blanch broccolini in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer to ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.

5. 5

   Make Lemon Dill Butter

   In a bowl, mix softened butter, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper until combined. Set aside.

6. 6

   Prepare the Salmon

   Place the soaked cedar plank on a baking sheet and arrange the salmon fillet on top. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread some lemon dill butter over the top.

7. 7

   Bake the Salmon

   Transfer the baking sheet with the cedar plank and salmon to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

8. 8

   Cook the Broccolini

   While the salmon is baking, sauté the blanched broccolini in a pan with a little olive oil for about 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

9. 9

   Serve

   Serve the cedar plank salmon with roasted fingerling potatoes and sautéed broccolini on the side. Drizzle with any remaining lemon dill butter.
