CEDAR PLANK-GRILLED SALMON WITH GARLIC, LEMON AND DILL
Steps:
- Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.
- Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC HERB BUTTER
As I watched Food Network's Ina Garten make Salmon Nicoise, I was inspired to use the technique of smoothing a thick marinade over salmon filets before roasting. Her marinade is olive oil-based, whereas mine is butter-based and resembles herb butter. My husband was returning from a business trip, so I wanted to surprise him with an elegant dinner. I served this dish alongside lemon-roasted asparagus and roasted garlic smashed potatoes. Needless to say, he was very pleased. Hope you enjoy as well!

SPICE-RUBBED ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC SPINACH
From Cooking Light December 2007. Don't let the mix of spices fool you, this one is a keeper. The smell and flavor is amazing. Definitely a restaurant quality dish. The spinach... I just found a new favorite way to prepare fresh cooked spinach. I hope you enjoy as much as I did! Served with garlic mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- To prepare salmon, combine first 6 ingredients; rub spice mixture evenly over fish. Place onion in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Place fish on top of onion; bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
- To prepare spinach, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic to pan; cook 1 minute. Add half of spinach; cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add remaining spinach; cook 4 minutes or until wilted, stirring frequently. Sprinkle spinach mixture with rind and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in juice; remove from heat.
- Place salmon on a platter. Arrange onions and spinach evenly around salmon. Sprinkle salmon with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, clean smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong fishy smell.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a fruity flavor that will complement the salmon. If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can use regular olive oil.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky. The best way to tell if salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is done.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served fresh out of the oven. If you need to keep the salmon warm, you can tent it with foil. However, don't let the salmon sit for too long, as it will start to dry out.
Conclusion:
This recipe for lemon garlic salmon is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and healthy meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection in a flavorful sauce made with lemon, garlic, and butter. This dish is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
