Food Recipes Cedar-Plank Salmon 4.1 (740) 7 Reviews By Jane Kirby Updated on March 10, 2015 Print Rate It Share Share Tweet Pin Email This seafood main is impressive, yet low-effort—the cedar board (available at gourmet food stores) does most of the work for you! Coat a quality cut of salmon with a simple rub of brown sugar, thyme, and cayenne before grilling. The result is a slightly smoky, perfectly flaky fish dinner. Nobody will miss the burgers and dogs.
