Steps:
- Soak a 10 inch long, 6" to 8" wide, construction grade cedar plank 3/4" thick, in water for at least 24 hours before making the recipe.
- Make sure you keep the wood submerged by weighing it down with cans.
- Start your barbecue and heat it to high.
- Rub the salmon filets all over with the oil, sprinkle each one with some of the shallots, top with a few sprigs of fresh dill and a squirt of lemon juice.
- Finish with the crushed peppercorns.
- Put the plank on the BBQ and sprinkle with a little coarse salt.
- Close the cover for a couple of minutes or just until the top of the plank is nearly dry.
- Note: Keep a spray bottle of water close at hand in case the wood starts to burn.
- Place the filets on top of the plank.
- If your BBQ has two burners, turn off the one beneath the wood.
- If not, turn the heat to the lowest setting.
- Close the cover and cook for about 10- 12 minutes or until nearly cooked all the way through.
- Don't overcook.
- Squeeze some lemon juice over the top, serve and enjoy.
- The plank can only be used once.
- Make sure it has stopped smoking and is well extinguished before disposing of it.
