- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Remove and discard seeds from 1 chile. Purée both chiles, garlic, cilantro, yogurt, oil, honey, and 1/4 cup water in a blender until smooth; season well with salt. Transfer half of sauce to a small bowl and set aside for serving.

Steps:
- This recipe is for OUTSIDE gas or charcoal plank-grilling.
- For the Cedar Planks: I use UNTREATED 1 by 8 construction grade cedar cut to the length of the amount of salmon you wish to cook. (I cut mine in 10-inch lengths for 2 (8- ounce fillets)
- Soaking the planks: Pre-soak cedar planks for at least 1 hour, preferably longer or overnight. Weigh down planks with heavy cans or stones to completely submerge the wood in water.
- Lightly coat the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on cedar plank skin-side down.
- Turn on your gas grill to high heat. Place planks (loaded up with salmon) on the grill and close lid. Your grill will now turn into an oven/smoker. Cooking time required will vary depending on the size of the salmon. Be careful when you are lifting the grill lid because the burning plank will produce a lot of smoke. Try to keep the lid closed as much as possible as not to lower the temperature inside the grill. When salmon is cooked, remove fish from plank and plunge wood into a bucket of cold water. Serve the salmon immediately with the Cilantro Pesto.
- Place first 4 ingredients in blender or small food processor and completely puree. Add lime juice, jalapeno, and salt and pepper, to taste.

GRILLED SALMON WITH CILANTRO MAYONNAISE
Steps:
- Heat grill to 500 degrees Make Cilantor Mayonnaise. Clean cilantro and just use the leaves. Put all ingredients into a food processor or blender, blend until just smooth. Store in refridgerator until ready to use. Mix all spices together and stores in an airtight container. Generously coat salmon filets with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with spice mix. Grill each side of salmon 4-6 minutes depending on thickness of salmon (if salmon has skin, cook skin side first). Do not over cook. Serve with a layer of Cliantro Mayonnaise on top and serve a little extra on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a nice, even color. Avoid fillets that are too thin or have dark spots or bruises.
- Marinate the salmon: Marinating the salmon in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
- Grill the salmon over medium heat: This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out.
- Cook the salmon until it is cooked through: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Grilled salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked.
