I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do. The best way to cook, I think, is to take an idea and make it your own and that's kind of what I do with the recipes I've brought here. Some are healthy and some are definitely not, but hopefully they will inspire you to spend more time in your kitchen.

Cedar plank grilled salmon


What you need:
  • 1 cedar plank, soaked in water for 3 hours+ (overnight would be best)
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, scored to the skin (but not through) into serving sections
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh dill, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

What you do:

Mix together dill, garlic, pepper, salt, olive oil, juice and zest in a small dish. Heat grill on high with plank until the wood begins to smoke. Spread mixture over salmon evenly and slide onto plank. Turn grill to low and cook for 25 to 30 minutes until internal temperature of fish is 130 degrees.
