Treat your ingredients with care...
- Cedar plank — Make sure to soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour before grilling to prevent it from catching fire. This will also help to infuse the salmon with the smoky aroma.
- Salmon fillets — Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Skin-on fillets work best for grilling as they hold their shape better.
Tips & Tricks
- Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent it from burning on the grill.
- Preheat the grill and cedar plank together to ensure even cooking.
- Baste the salmon with the citrus glaze throughout the cooking process for maximum flavor.
- Serve the Cedar-Plank Salmon with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Experiment with different citrus fruits like grapefruit or blood orange to create your own unique glaze.
Serving advice
Serve the Cedar-Plank Salmon hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair it with a side of grilled asparagus and roasted potatoes for a satisfying and balanced meal.
Presentation advice
