CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH DILL

Steps:

• Soak cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for indirect cooking over medium heat.
• Mix Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, and garlic in a bowl.

CEDAR PLANK-GRILLED SALMON WITH GARLIC, LEMON AND DILL

Steps:

• Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.
• When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.
• Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.
