Cedar Plank Salmon with Dill Sauce

Tonight we had salmon on a cedar plank. This recipe comes from Canadian Living. I pretty much followed the recipe exactly, however we ran out of propane sooo I had to turn to the oven…which I didn’t want to do in this heat!! However it turned out great!

Ingredients:

Salmon:

-          1 cedar plank

-          2 salmon fillets (about 1 lb)

-          2 tbsp oil

-          ½ tsp grated lemon zest

-          2 tbsp lemon juice

-          1 tbsp chopped green onions (or chives)

       -          2 tsp Dijon mustard (I used honey Dijon, it worked just as well)

-          1 pinch each salt and pepper

Dill Sauce:

-          ½ cup sour cream

-          2 tbsp finely chopped cucumbers

-          1 tbsp fresh chopped dill (or ½ tsp dried)

-          2 tsp minced green onion (or chives)

Directions:

1. Prepare cedar plank by soaking in water for at least 30 minutes and place salmon fillets on top.
2. In a small bowl, whisk remaining Salmon ingredients together and brush onto fillets.
3. Place plank on grill over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes (or until fish flakes easily when tested). Occasionally brush with remaining lemon mixture. 
4. Meanwhile, combine Dill Sauce ingredients in a small bow. Serve salmon with dill sauce.

**Tip: If like me you run out of propane…you can place plank in a preheated 425^oF oven for about 15 minutes!!!!
