- 2 cedar planks
- 4 (4 oz./113 g ea.) salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp. (44 ml) melted butter
- 3 tbsp. (44 ml) honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, zested and sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Before you begin, place the planks into water to soak for at least 30 minutes, while you prepare the ingredients and preheat the barbecue.
- Preheat the barbecue to 400°F (200°C), setting all burners to medium-low.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, garlic, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon. Reserve about 1/3 of the honey-butter mixture.
- Season the salmon to your liking with salt and pepper.
- Place the planks onto the barbecue and arrange the salmon filets on top of the planks. Brush the salmon with the honey-butter mixture and arrange some slices of lemon on top.
- Close the barbecue and cook for 6 to 8 minutes. Spoon or brush them again with the honey-butter and cook with the lid closed for another 6 to 7 minutes, or until the fish is tender and flakes easily. A finished temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve on a bed of rice and drizzled with the reserved honey-butter. You can also try this meal with some baby potatoes and your favorite seasonal vegetables.
