Cedar Plank Salmon

Cedar Plank Salmon is a beautifully flavorful dish that combines the rich taste of salmon with the aromatic essence of cedar wood. Perfectly grilled, this dish offers a delightful experience of smoky, tender fish that pairs wonderfully with seasonal vegetables.

Ingredients

• salmon fillet - 300 grams
• cedar plank - 1 (soaked in water for at least 1 hour)
• olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• lemon - 1 (sliced)
• fresh dill - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent it from catching fire while cooking.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
4. Place the salmon fillet on the soaked cedar plank and brush the marinade evenly over the fish.
5. Top the salmon with lemon slices and sprinkle chopped fresh dill over it.
6. Carefully place the cedar plank with the salmon on the preheated grill.
7. Close the lid and grill for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Remove the cedar plank from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
