4 tablespoons roast garlic infused olive oil
4 tablespoons finely chopped shallots or 4 tablespoons red onions
fresh dill
1 lemon, cut in half
coarsely crushed black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Soak a 10 inch long, 6" to 8" wide, construction grade cedar plank 3/4" thick, in water for at least 24 hours before making the recipe.

  • Rub the salmon filets all over with the oil, sprinkle each one with some of the shallots, top with a few sprigs of fresh dill and a squirt of lemon juice.
  • Finish with the crushed peppercorns.
  • Put the plank on the BBQ and sprinkle with a little coarse salt.
  • Close the cover for a couple of minutes or just until the top of the plank is nearly dry.
  • Note: Keep a spray bottle of water close at hand in case the wood starts to burn.
  • Place the filets on top of the plank.
  • If your BBQ has two burners, turn off the one beneath the wood.
  • If not, turn the heat to the lowest setting.
  • Close the cover and cook for about 10- 12 minutes or until nearly cooked all the way through.
  • Don't overcook.
  • Squeeze some lemon juice over the top, serve and enjoy.
  • The plank can only be used once.
  • Make sure it has stopped smoking and is well extinguished before disposing of it.

This recipe is a bit expensive, especially if you don't have a cedar plank on hand.
