Hubby's Favorite Salmon

Here is an interesting recipe. It is my husband's favorite salmon recipe and we all love it. I also forgot about it and when he put it on his fishing blog (www.fishingaddictblog.blogspot.com), that is what made me remember it. We have this every time he goes salmon fishing and catches something (we love it when he catches fish).

This dish is made on a cedar plank and it really adds flavor to the food if you have not tried it. Planks also come in alder wood. It is his favorite cooking tool in the world and he does it on the grill outside. Just follow his recipe and you will have exquisite cedar planked salmon that is to die for!!
