Cilantro Grilled Salmon

It really works on tacos with a black bean sauce

This salmon is great by itself or used as a filling in things like tacos, rices, soups, pasta, etc.

Make sure the cedar plank you use is untreated quality wood no thicker than 1/2″.

Cilantro Lime Salmon

  • 2 lb salmon  fillet
  • 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt/pepper
  • 1 cedar plank large enough to hold the fillet

Wash and pat dry fish. In a large container zest and juice both limes then mix with cilantro, oil, salt and pepper. Lay fish flesh side down in mixture and rub in well. Marinate for at least 4 hours. Soak the cedar and create a fire in grill. When ready set coals to each side and place cedar plank in between. Place salmon on top, rub as much of the marinade into it, and grill over indirect heat until done, about 15 minutes.
