Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets skin on
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dill fresh, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon parsley fresh, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Equipment

  • Cedar plank
  • Grill

Method
 

  1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents it from burning on the grill.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the soaked cedar plank.
  5. Brush the herb and oil mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Carefully place the cedar plank with the salmon onto the preheated grill.
  7. Close the grill lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  8. Remove the cedar plank from the grill and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can add other herbs like chives or thyme to the herb mixture. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
