- 1/4 cup olive olive
- 1 lemon or orange, juice and zest
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp frshly ground black pepper
Directions
Marinate the salmon in remaining ingredients. Meanwhile, soak a piece of untreated cedar plank in cold water for about 2 hours (weighing it with something heavy. Place the salmon on plant. Put the plank directly on the barbecue grill. Close the lid and cook over medium-high heat for 10-20 minutes depending on required doneness.
