Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets skin on
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Equipment

  • Cedar plank
  • Grill

Method
 

  1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 15 minutes. This prevents it from burning on the grill.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F or 200-230°C).
  3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, dill, parsley, chives, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the soaked cedar plank.
  5. Brush the herb and oil mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Carefully place the cedar plank with the salmon onto the preheated grill. Close the grill lid.
  7. Grill for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and your grill's temperature.
  8. Remove the cedar plank with the salmon from the grill. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve the salmon directly from the plank for a rustic presentation. You can add lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
