8 Salmon 6 oz Fillets, Skinless
2 cedar planks, soaked in water for 4 to 6 hours
1 tbsp. BBQ seasoning
sea salt
1 large lemon
Crust Mixture
Mix together the following:
1 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/2 cup shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
3 tbsp. black pepper, cracked
2 tbsp. olive oil
juice of one lemon
Preheat grill to high. Sprinkle BBQ seasoning on salmon. Combine together all ingredients
for the crust mixture and spread generously over the flesh side (not skin side) of each
fillet. Season soaked planks with sea salt and place on grill, close lid and heat for 3 to 5
minutes until they start to crackle and smoke. Carefully lift lid and place salmon fillets
on hot planks, skin side down. Close lid and plank-bake salmon for 12 to 15 minutes for
medium doneness. Check periodically to make sure that planks are not on fire. Use spray
bottle to extinguish any flames. Squeeze lemon over fillets. Carefully remove planks from
grill and transfer salmon to serving platter.
