First you will purchase Cedar Wood Planks for cooking. You can click on the image at the end of the post to purchase them on Amazon. Take them out of the package and let them soak in water, 15 minutes on each side. If you do not soak them they will char, that will give your fish a horrible taste.
Warm up your grill to about 350 degrees as seen in the photo below.
When you are prepping your salmon make sure that all the scales are off and that it is thoroughly washed. You will season your 3 salmon fillets with the following:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon of pepper
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 1/2 tablespoon of dried parsley
- 1 1/2 tablespoon of Smart Balance Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spread
- 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
You will slice one of your lemons into thin slices and place them on the plank, then you will place the seasoned salmon on top of it.
Close the grill and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked. You can check by using a thermometer and making sure the internal temperature is 145 degrees fahrenheit.
Once it is cooked you can use tongs to take the plank off the grill, be careful because it is hot. Once it's brought inside serve with your favorite veggie and rice side then enjoy right away.
You will taste that the plank gives the fish a delicious flavor. The cedar plank is very versatile and can be used with different types of meat. If you do not have a grill I have done research and I have found out that you can also cook the salmon on the plank in the oven, just make sure you soak it in water for about 15 minutes longer.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
Con Amor,
