A flavorful and aromatic salmon recipe cooked on a cedar plank for a smoky touch.
Soak the cedar plank in water for at least an hour to prevent it from burning.
Add some lemon juice or wine to the soaking water for extra flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
Mix all the spices and sugar in a small bowl to create the rub.
Taste the rub and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
Let the salmon sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill and close the lid for a few minutes to heat it up.
This step helps to release the aromatic oils from the cedar.
Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on the heated plank. Close the grill lid and cook for about 10 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid overcooking to keep the salmon moist and tender.
Serve the salmon directly from the plank for a rustic presentation. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon slices for added flavor and presentation.
