Instructions

Step 1 Soak plank
Soak a wood plank in water for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Pat wood plank with paper towels and spray-coat/lightly oil one side.
-
Step 2 Make herb blend and rub into salmon
Blend the herbs together in a small bowl. Lay Alaska salmon on the coated side of wood plank. Squeeze lemon juice on salmon; season liberally with salt and pepper. Pat/rub 1-2 tablespoons of the herb blend on each salmon portion or all onto salmon side. Let the salmon rest 5 minutes before cooking.

Step 3 Grill the salmon
Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill salmon using indirect heat (not directly over heat) in a covered grill for 10-15 minutes. Cook just until salmon is opaque throughout.
Chef’s Tip: This recipe works great whether you use a plank or cook it straight on the grill. Or, bake at 400F (6-7 inches from heat source) for 10-15 minutes.
