Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon
an entertaining hero
The beauty of this dish is that it can be served at any temperature making it an entertaining hero. Whether a brunch, lunch or dinner – serving it cold, room temperature or hot, it’s a staple menu item when I’m hosting. While Salmon might not sound special – this recipe makes my guests exclaim, Olivia, this salmon! It’s all in the fattiness of King Salmon smothered in grainy dijon mustard with a thick layer of fresh herbs. Then it’s grilled on cedar planks to give the fish a smoky and powerful flavor that earns this dish a place on any celebratory menu.
The preparation is remarkably simple and the fool-proof cooking method results in a perfectly cooked salmon every time. I make this on my Green-Egg grill so it gives the fish that wonderful hickory smoke. In absence of a charcoal grill the cedar-planks will provide that unmistakable woody note that makes this recipe so mouthwatering.
