Memorial Day Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon is a delightful dish featuring tender salmon infused with smoky cedar flavors and zesty lemon, perfect for summer gatherings.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 untreated cedar plank (12x6 inches)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp dried dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium heat (350°F/175°C).
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry, then drizzle olive oil over both sides. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dill.
  4. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the seasoned fillets.
  5. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill for a minute until it begins to smoke. Lay the salmon skin-side down on the plank.

  7. Carefully remove from the grill and serve directly from the plank.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try marinating your salmon in teriyaki or honey mustard before grilling.
  • Pair with seasonal vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
