Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 1 (3 pound) whole filet of salmon, skin on, scored (up to but not through the skin) into serving pieces 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 large garlic cloves, minced ¼ cup minced fresh dill 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for serving Directions Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours. When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat. Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges. Editor's Note Copyright 2006 USA WEEKEND and columnist Pam Anderson. All rights reserved. I Made It Print 244 home cooks made it!
