Recipe Summary Cedar Plank-Grilled Salmon With Garlic, Lemon And Dill

Cooking a lemon and dill seasoned whole salmon fillet on a smoldering cedar plank adds a touch of smoke to a beautiful fish!

Ingredients | Cedar Plank Salmon Seasoning Recipe

1 (3 pound) whole filet of salmon, skin on, scored (up to but not through the skin) into serving pieces

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 large garlic cloves, minced

¼ cup minced fresh dill

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for serving

Directions

Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.

When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.

Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.
