CedarPlankSalmonI fix cedar plank salmon at my house as often as I can.  The cedar gives the salmon an outstanding flavor!  Most grocery stores carry the cedar planks.  This recipe courtesy of Men’s Health.

Ingredients
2 6 oz salmon fillets
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp sesame seeds
1 large, untreated cedar plank
2 tbsp fresh mint or cilantro, chopped
1 large english cucumber, seeded and sliced
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
olive oil

Directions
1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours. Next, combine the cucumbers, rice wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and herbs in a mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Clean a grill or grill pan thoroughly. Next, rub the grates with an oil soaked paper towel. Preheat over high heat. Lay the cedar plank on the grill. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. When the plank begins to smoke, lay the fillets on it, skin side down. Close the top, and grill for 10 to 12 minutes, until the salmon flakes with light pressure from your finger.

3. Top the salmon with the cucumbers, and garnish with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
