Preparation

Step 1

Presoak and 18 inch untreated cedar plan by submerging it in cold water for 2 hours. Place the oil, lemon juice, sugar, dill or parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Add the salmon and turn to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes

Remove the plank from the water and dry the side the fish will be placed on. If you are using the oven, preheat it to 450F.

Place the fish on the plank and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until just cooked through. If using the barbecue, preheat it to medium-high. If you have a two-burner barbecue, turn one side off and lower the other to medium-low. Set the fish on the plank and place on the unlit side of the barbecue. (If you have a one-burner barbecue, set it to its lowest setting.) Close lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Keep a spray bottle handy just in case the board ignites on the bottom.

Set plank on a serving tray and garnish with lemon slices.
