Cedar Plank-Smoked Salmon

Cedar Plank-Smoked Salmon

Salmon is a delicate fish that does well when lightly smoked and gently seasoned. Cooking it on a plank over a live fire gives it a great smoky flavor while letting it hold its shape.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 sprigs fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 pound salmon filet
  • 1 plank food-safe wood, such as untreated cedar or alder wood
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh dill, or more to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2
Combine butter, garlic, 3 sprigs dill, and salt in a heat-proof dish. Place in the smoker until butter is melted and infused with flavor, at least 20 minutes. Remove from the smoker.

Step 3
Lay salmon on the plank of wood. Brush salmon with the flavored butter. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the smoker and close the door.

Step 4
Cook salmon until easily flaked with a fork, about 40 minutes. Check at 10-minute intervals and baste with butter.

Step 5
Serve garnished with lemon slices, remaining dill, and remaining flavored butter.

Recipe Tip

Bake salmon in the oven instead of a smoker if preferred.
