Cedar Plank Salmon


  • Author: Alexa

Description

Seafood on a grill? Absolutely! Cedar plank salmon is one of the easiest ways to bring out smoky, delicate flavors while keeping the fish moist and flaky. The cedar plank infuses the salmon with a subtle woodsy aroma, making it perfect for date nights or dinner parties.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillet
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 cedar plank (soaked for 1 hour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Traeger to 350°F with cherry pellets.
  2. Rub salmon with olive oil, then sprinkle with brown sugar and paprika.
  3. Place lemon slices on top of the salmon.
  4. Lay the salmon on the soaked cedar plank and place it on the grill.
  5. Smoke for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Soak the cedar plank in water for at least an hour before grilling to prevent it from catching fire.
  • Seasoning Ideas: Try a mix of brown sugar, lemon zest, and paprika for a sweet and savory glaze.
