Amazingly Delicious Cedar Plank Salmon on the BBQ

I love Salmon and it is my go to dish that I order when I am out at a restaurant. Salmon cooked on a cedar plank is my favorite and it is very easy to make at home. Pair this with my roasted vegetables or Asparagus and you have the most delicious meal. It is just like eating out but a lot less expensive.

Ingredients

Salmon fillets, with skin on (Wild Alaskan Salmon is my favorite)

Olive oil to coat

Salt & pepper

Fresh pressed garlic

Lemon juice and zest optional

Minced fresh dill optional

Water or white wine for soaking the planks

Cedar planks

Instructions

  1. Soak the Cedar Planks:One to two hours before grilling, soak the planks in water or white wine
  2. Heat the Grill: 350 degrees
  3. Lay the Planks on the Grill: Leave a little room between each so the air can circulate around them
  4. Place Salmon on Planks: Season the salmon with olive oil, lemon, garlic and dill and then place them on the planks skin side down
  5. Cook for 12 - 15 Minutes: Check after about 12 minutes, they should look nice and pink on the inside
  6. Remove the Skin: Transfer the salmon on the planks to a cutting board or baking sheet. Use a thin spatula to gently separate the skin from the salmon. The skin should stick to the boards and separate easily
  7. Cut into Portions and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon into portions and serve immediately
