Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon With Garlic Basil Butter

Ingredients

• 1 cedar plank
• 1 1/2-2 lbs salmon
• 1/4 cup fresh basil
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 6-7 garlic cloves, minced
• salt & pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Soak your cedar plank in water for 20 minutes, flipping over halfway through soak time.

2. 2

   While the plank is soaking, mix together butter, basil and minched garlic cloves, spread on salmon.

3. 3

   Salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Heat your grill to low, or the right setting for your grill for fish.

5. 5

   Take your cedar plank out of the water and place the salmon on top of the plank. Place it on the grill and cook for 20-40 minutes depending on how thick your salmon is.Grill with the lid closed.

6. 6

   During the cooking time, if the plank catches on fire, spray it with water.

7. 7

   Salmon is done cooking, when it flakes easily with a fork.

8. 8

   *Note: Whenever I make this it normally takes around 30-45 minutes to cook on the grill. I constantly check it to make sure the plank doesn't burn & the salmon doesn't over cook.

9. 9

   Make sure you have water on hand to spray the cedar plank with, so it doesn't catch on fire.
