Preparation

Step 1

Soak the cedar plank in cold water for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
Grate the zest from one lime and place in a mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice of both limes and add to the bowl. Whisk all the remaining ingredients into the bowl until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
When ready to serve, preheat the grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grate.
Rinse and dry the salmon filet. Remove the cedar plank from the water, dry with paper towels and place on the grill for a few minutes, until it starts to crackle.
Place the salmon filet, skin side down, on the plank and generously brush with the lime sauce.
Cover the grill, and cook the salmon for 20 minutes, or until cooked through but still moist. It should be slightly flaky to the touch.
Remove the plank from the grill and lightly brush the salmon with some of the remaining lime sauce. Serve immediately.
