Method

Preparation of Cedar Plank and Salmon

  1. 1

    Soak the Cedar Plank

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

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and coat them with teriyaki sauce.

  4. 4

    Place Salmon on Cedar Plank

    Once soaked, place the cedar plank on the grill for 3-5 minutes until it starts to smoke. Then, place the salmon fillets on the plank.

Couscous

  1. 5

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Add salt.

  2. 6

    Cook Couscous

    Once the water is boiling, stir in the couscous. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Fluff and Add Parsley

    After 5 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley.

Roasting Vegetables

  1. 8

    Prepare Vegetables

    In a bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 9

    Roast Vegetables

    Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Grilling the Salmon

  1. 10

    Grill Salmon

    Close the grill lid and cook the salmon on the cedar plank for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 11

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled cedar plank salmon with a side of couscous and roasted vegetables. Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce over the salmon, if desired.
