Cedar Plank Salmon on the Grill BBQ Recipe

Simple is divine. This very old method of cooking fish celebrates the pure, clean taste of fresh salmon.

1 whole salmon fillet, 18 inches long (about 2-1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (zest of 1 lemon)
3 sprigs fresh dill, snipped
Salt and pepper
Lemon wedges

Immerse an untreated, 20-inch cedar wood plank suitable for cooking use in water; soak at least 1 hour or up to 1 day. Place salmon fillet, skin side down, on soaked plank. Sprinkle with lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper.

Place planked salmon in centre of cooking grate. Grill 25 to 30 minutes or until salmon is opaque in centre and flesh flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Note: Make sure the plank you choose is virgin cedar. Buy one specially made for food preparation, usually sold in cookware stores.

Cedar Planks

Cedar planks from Brinkmann-owned Smokey's are the ideal way to smoke and serve fish but they can also be used with a multitude of recipes including Cedar-Smoked Pork Loin. Smoking planks are more commonly associated with hooded or kettle barbecues known as Smokers, but they can also be used in conventional gas and electric ovens.

Simply place one cedar plank between the food and the grill, while the food slowly roasts, the plank gives off a wonderful aromatic smoke which enriches the taste of your food. You don't need to necessarily soak the planks in water; why not try beer or wine? Another added bonus; if the cedar plank has not been completely consumed they can be reused.

An essential accessory for the more serious barbecuer!
