Ingredients for Sweet Orange Habanero Cedar Plank Salmon

• 4 wild salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 1 cedar plank (soaked in water for at least 1 hour)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp Sweet Orange Habanero seasoning
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1–2 tbsp fresh dill (for garnish)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

How to Make Cedar Plank Salmon

1. Prepare the Cedar Plank

Start by soaking your cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour. This is essential to prevent the plank from burning and to infuse your salmon with that smoky cedar aroma.

2. Season the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to help the seasoning adhere. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then coat evenly with the Sweet Orange Habanero seasoning. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salmon for a zesty kick.

3. Heat Your Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill and heat it for 3–4 minutes until it starts to crackle. Arrange the salmon fillets on the plank, skin-side down. Close the grill lid and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

4. Garnish and Serve

Once the salmon is perfectly cooked, garnish with freshly chopped dill and serve with lemon wedges for an added burst of flavor.
