Cedar Planked Salmon With Citrus BBQ Sauce
"Planking brings out the full flavour of salmon and this recipe from my favourite BBQ buddy, Ted Reader, is one of my favourites.
It is so easy and incredibly delicious.
You will need an untreated cedar plank (at least 10x8x1 inch), soaked in water overnight.
Preparation time does not include soaking time for the plank."

Never having done anything like this before I was a little apprehensive about trying something like this, but a neighbor of mine was more then willing to walk me through it & the salmon was awesome, with the 4 of us pigging out on the all the salmon, a simple salad & some very tasty Cheesy Little Potato loaves! Thanks for sharing the recipes! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event] -
