Cedar Plank Salmon Recipe
Description
The Cedar Plank Salmon Recipe uses a cedar plank soaked in water to impart a mild smoky aroma while cooking the salmon on a barbecue. The salmon fillet is seasoned with a mixture of paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to provide a herbed and mildly smoky flavor that complements the woodsy notes from the plank. The fish cooks gently over medium-low heat on the pellet, ensuring it reaches a tender, flaky texture at an internal temperature of 140°F. The accompanying avocado peach salsa balances the richness of the salmon with fresh sweetness from peaches and creaminess from avocado, accented by the crispness of red bell pepper and red onion, brightness from lime juice, cilantro herbaceousness, and a touch of heat from optional jalapeño. This pairing highlights seasonal fruit and delivers a fresh contrast to the warm grilled fish.
Ingredients
- 1 - 1 ½ lb salmon preferably with the skin removed, fillet
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions
- Soak your cedar plank in water for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- While the cedar plank is soaking, make the salsa. Mix all the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
