Cedar Planked Salmon On The Grill

Directions

1. Immerse an untreated, 20-inch cedar plank suitable for cooking use in water; soak at least 1 hour or possibly up to 1 day. Place salmon fillet, skin-side down, on soaked plank. Sprinkle with lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper.
2. Place planked salmon in center of cooking grate. Grill 25 to 30 min or possibly till salmon is opaque in center and flesh flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with lemon wedges.
3. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
4. Wine Recommendation: The absolute best way to celebrate the pure salmon flavors of this dish is with a crisp brut or possibly extra dry Champagne.
5. Comments: Simple is divine. This very old method of cooking fish celebrates the pure, clean taste of fresh salmon.
6. Note: Make sure the plank you choose is virgin cedar. Buy one specially made for food preparation, usually sold in cookware stores.
