3 Tbl freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup No-stick Marinade for Seafood (recipe found below)
6 salmon fillets, 7-8 oz. each
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 large cedar plank, soaked for 1 hour in water
1/3 cup olive oil
1 Tbl Dijon mustard
1 Tbl balsamic vinegar
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp minced shallots
Combine the lemon juice with the no-stick marinade. Brush the salmon filets with the mixture, and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper.
Blot the soaked cedar plank dry. Combine the olive oil, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, and shallot in a mixing bowl. Brush this mixture on the cedar plank.
Prepare the grill. Place the cedar plank, marinated side up, over direct high heat until it begins to smoke.
Arrange the salmon fillets on the plank, leaving space between each one, and move the plank to indirect high heat. Cook until the salmon is just pink in the center, 10-12 minutes.
*Salmon fillets available at Cater's Market.
