Cedar Plank Salmon
Cedar Plank Salmon on the grill is absolutely some of the best tasting fish around. Soak the cedar plank in plain water or find something fun to soak it in for more flavor. I soaked the plank for this recipe in white wine for about an hour and a half. The salmon picks up the smoky flavor of the wood and the wine. It is really delicious!

Instructions
Salmon
  1. Place the cedar plank on a baking sheet with sides that are higher than the plank. Pour enough wine to cover the plank and let sit for about an hour and a half. You can soak the plank in water if you prefer. If soaking the plank in the sink you will probably need to get something to weigh it down.
  2. Mix olive oil and the juice of 4 lemons together in a small bowl
  3. Chop up half the dill and mix into the olive oil and lemon juice, set aside
  4. Put the salmon fillet in a large plastic bag and pour the olive oil mix over the fish. Be sure to coat the entire fillet. Open the fridge and place a towel on the shelf, take the plastic bag with the fish and lay it on top of the towel with the skin side facing up. Let the fish marinate for at least an hour.
  5. Preheat the grill to 350º
  6. Slice the 2 lemons into 1 inch slices and arrange on the cedar plank. Take sprigs of dill and arrange them in between the lemon slices
  7. Lay the fish skin side down on top of the lemon and dill. Pour any marinade left in the bag on the fish
  8. Sprinkle the fish with salt and fresh ground pepper
  9. Place the cedar plank directly on the grill grates and close the lid. You will want to have a glass of water nearby and check often in case the plank ignites. If it does just pour a little water on the flame. The smoke is what gives the fish a wonderful flavor, so don’t worry about that.
  10. Remove skin before serving. Serve with a lemon dill sauce or lemon slices.
Lemon Dill Sauce
  1. In a bowl mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup plain yogurt. Add the juice of half a lemon and some fresh chopped dill, season with a little salt and pepper
