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.

Perfect for the unused cedar plank sitting in our grill supply box.
I’ve been craving salmon again – need to get myself a plank ASAP! This looks fab! I can almost smell it through the screen!
I’ve been curious to try a planked salmon for some time. They even sell individual cedar ‘sheets’ in grocery stores.
That sounds fantastic. I have to try this excellent recipe.
That would taste really good, I need some now
Cilantro and lime are one of our favourite flavour combinations. This looks particularly delightful. Happy Monday!
This would be awesome as fish tacos! Love it.
Excellent technique!
I love the simplicity of this and I love cilantro!
We love cedar plank salmon and this looks like a great new way for me to use it! YUM!
I’m making this as soon as Jake comes home from Alaska….bringing some of the salmon he caught.

This would be good in parchment or poached too.
