  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each)
– 1 cedar plank (soaked in water for at least 1 hour)
– 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Dill Sauce Smothered Cedar Planked Salmon is a straightforward process that guarantees incredible flavors with minimal effort. Follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Cedar Plank: Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent it from burning while cooking.
2. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and slather half of the dill sauce over them. Let them marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
5. Place the Cedar Plank: Once the grill is hot, place the soaked cedar plank directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and let it heat for about 5 minutes.
6. Add the Salmon: After the plank has heated, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets on top. Spoon the remaining dill sauce over the salmon.
7. Close the Lid and Cook: Close the grill lid and cook the salmon for approximately 15-20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
8. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
9. Remove from the Grill: Carefully remove the cedar plank from the grill. Use tongs or a spatula to transfer the salmon fillets onto a serving plate.
10. Serve with Lemon Wedges: Garnish with fresh lemon wedges to add a burst of brightness to each serving.
