# List of ingredients:
→ Salmon Fillets
01 - 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
→ Marinade & Seasoning
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
05 - 1 lemon, zested and juiced
06 - 1 teaspoon sea salt
07 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ For Grilling
08 - 2 untreated food-safe cedar planks (each approximately 12 x 6 inches)
09 - Lemon slices, for garnish
10 - Extra dill sprigs, for garnish
# How to make it:
01 - Immerse the cedar planks in cold water for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours, placing a weight on top to keep them fully submerged.
02 - Combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl; blend thoroughly.
03 - Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Generously brush both sides with the marinade, reserving a portion for basting during grilling.
04 - Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Position the soaked cedar planks on the grill grates, close the lid, and allow them to heat for 2 minutes or until they start to smoke and crackle.
05 - Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated cedar planks. Close the lid and grill for 12 to 15 minutes, basting once with reserved marinade, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
06 - Remove salmon from the grill, garnish with fresh dill and lemon slices, and serve immediately.
