Cedar Plank Salmon with Lemon & Dill
Soaked cedar plank locks in moisture and adds subtle smokiness while salmon cooks hands-off in the oven. Fresh lemon, dill, and a touch of butter finish it restaurant-quality in under 25 minutes.

Step 1
Soak cedar plank in water for at least 15 minutes. Pat salmon skin-dry and season flesh generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place soaked plank on a large baking sheet and arrange asparagus (or potatoes) on either side.
Step 3
Set salmon skin-side down on the plank. Scatter shallot slices and dill over flesh, then dot with butter.
Step 4
Pour white wine around the vegetables. Squeeze lemon juice over salmon and lay lemon halves beside it.
Step 5
Bake for 12–14 minutes until salmon flakes easily at the thickest part and edges are just cooked through.
Step 6
Serve salmon and vegetables directly from the plank, drizzled with pan juices and fresh dill.
