Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 fillets salmon fillets
• 2 planks cedar planks
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 tablespoons dill
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup water

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the cedar planks in water for at least 1 hour. This helps prevent them from burning on the grill.

2. 2

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons of chopped dill, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of honey to create a marinade.

4. 4

   Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes.

5. 5

   Once the cedar planks have soaked, remove them from the water and pat dry. Place the planks on the grill for about 5 minutes to heat them up.

6. 6

   Carefully place the marinated salmon fillets on the heated cedar planks, skin-side down.

7. 7

   Close the grill lid and cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

8. 8

   Remove the cedar planks from the grill and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.

9. 9

   Serve the grilled salmon garnished with additional dill and lemon wedges on the side.
