Soak cedar plank for 2 hours in water before using.

  • 1 fresh salmon fillet
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp. fresh dill, chopped
  1. Clean salmon fillet, if needed. Coat with a small amount of olive oil.
  2. Sprinkle fillet with salt, pepper and garlic powder, to taste. Sprinkle liberally with dill, using more for larger fillets.
  3. Cover and let sit for 1-2 hours.
  4. Heat grill to medium high. Place salmon onto cedar plank, skin side down. Cook on medium to medium high for 15-20 minutes. If plank catches on fire, sprinkle with water or beer. (You want it to smoke.)
  5. When done, insert spatula between skin and flesh and transfer to serving plate. The skin should stick to the plank.
  6. This is delicious served with wild rice and grilled vegetables
