Cedar Plank Fish

Cedar Plank salmon has long been one of my very favorite meals.  We recently decided to try a few different versions of cedar plank fish at our house.  I will update this as we find ones we like!

Be sure to soak your cedar planks for at least an hour before you grill it.  When you remove them from the water (or wine or whatever else you soaked them in) be sure to dry them off really well.

Cedar Plank Salmon with Brown Sugar

Ingredients:
*Salmon-or any other fish this sounds good with
*Brown Sugar
*Dijon Mustard
*garlic
*Salt
*Pepper

Directions:
Place fish on the planks skin side down.  Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Add a dollop of dijon mustard and brown sugar and rub into the side facing up. 

For cooking time, I often look to see how long and at what temp the fish should normally be baked in the oven and improvise based on that depending on what type of fish it is.


Cedar Plank Fish with Pesto

Ingredients:
*White fish filets, salmon, or whatever other fish you think would be good with pesto.
*Knorr Pesto mix
*garlic
*2 TBS olive oil
*garlic (optional)
*Lemon Juice

(You could also make your own pesto sauce or buy it premade.  I chose this route so that I could control the amount of oil and calories and I didn't have time to make it from scratch)

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix together pesto mix, 2 TBS olive oil, 2 TBS lemon juice (or more to your liking), and 1 TSP garlic if you like.    

Place fish on the planks skin side down.  Spread evenly over the top side of the fish.
