Ingredients
  

Salmon
  • 1 lb salmon
  • 2 lemons
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 garlic cloves
Vegetable Packet
  • 1 lb baby potatoes or sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 small shallots
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Cedar Plank
  • Grill

Method
 

  1. If using a charcoal grill, prepare grill first so that's it's ready to go once you've prepped all of the ingredients.
Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon
  1. Soak your cedar plank for an hour. While that soaks prepare your salmon marinade.
  2. Mix together chopped garlic, olive oil, chopped dill, juice of one lemon, and salt. Put salmon in glass dish and pour marinade on top. Top with some sliced lemons. Put in the fridge for one hour.
  3. Once the cedar planks are ready place them on the grill for about 5 minutes until they start to lightly smoke.
  4. Move the planks away from the flames and place the salmon on top. Grill for about 8-10 minutes or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145F. A meat thermometer is super helpful for this.
Vegetable Packet
  1. While the salmon marinates and the cedar plank soaks prepare and cook the vegetables.
  2. Put the broccoli florets, potatoes, garlic, chopped shallots, garlic, and lemon into an aluminum or parchment packet.
  3. Cook vegetable packet on the grill, not directly over the flames. You want this to cook slowly for about 20 - 25 minutes. Check to see if the potatoes are cooked, if not cook a few more minutes.
