Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon
This is Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon and it is fantastic! Fresh salmon grilled on a cedar plank, smothered in creamy lemon dill sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb of fresh salmon skin on
- 1 cedar plank soaked for 2 hours in water
- Soaked wood chips preferable but not necessary
- Sauce:
- 1/3 cup of mayo
- 1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp minced fresh dill
- salt
- fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- Make sure the cedar plank was soaked for a while. While the plank is soaking, marinade the salmon.
- Cut salmon into 3-4 even pieces. Leave the skin on.
- Mix mayo, dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper together until all combined.
- Rub creamy sauce over the salmon, cover it in foil and refrigerate until ready to grill.
- Once the coals are ready, add wood chips if you are using them. Follow directions on the package.
- Place salmon, skin down, on the cedar plank.
- Place the plank on the grill and cover it. Cook for 15-25 minutes, until light pink throughout and still moist. Cooking time will depend in the thickness and size of salmon. While cooking, touch salmon on the thickest part to feel if it is firm. It will feel firm and no longer squishy when done.
