Cedar-Plank Salmon

Cedar-Plank Salmon of Love!

Ok, what can I say I love to cook this way. Rain or snow!

Grilling on a wooden plank! This method is great because it gives you authentic smoke for flavor.

What you'll need:
The Rub

2 tsp lemon pepper
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp dry tarragon
1 tsp dry basil
2 Tsp brown sugar

Fresh ground pepper

2 skinless salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1 lemon

Let's make it:

1. Blend all ingredients except the fish and lemon in a mixing bowl.

2. Sprinkle both sides of the salmon evenly with the dry rub and then press the seasonings into the flesh. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours before cooking.

3. Soak the untreated 3/8-inch cedar plank in water for 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the grill on high. Place seasoned salmon fillets onto the plank (making sure they're not touching) and squeeze lemon over them. Place the planks on the grill, lower the heat to medium, and cover. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the fillets' thickness; their internal temperature should be 120°F. Remove the plank from the grill.

Serve with a nice slice of lemon.

Can you feel the love!
