Ingredients
- 2 ½ pound salmon fillet skin on
- 10 carrots ,peeled
- 6 large cloves garlic cut in half if extra large
- 1 lemon ,sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Soak cedar planks for at least two hours. Longer is better!
- Place carrots, garlic, and lemon slices on a plate and drizzle with olive oil. Pat the salmon fillet dry, cut in half to fit the planks.
- Heat grill to high (350-400 degrees F). When hot, place the planks on the grill for about 5 minutes, or until they lightly smoke. Layer the carrots, garlic and lemon slices on the planks, place salmon pieces over carrots. Close the lid and cook, checking every so often for flare-ups and spraying the corners of the planks with water if needed, for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (135 degrees) and the carrots are tender. Serve with the grilled carrots and garlic on the side.
