This Cedar Plank Salmon recipe shines with homemade Fresh Peach Salsa!
Hi guys!
Happy pre-Friday! I'm excited about this upcoming weekend because one of my favorite kiddos is turning three and my favorite house guest is coming to visit. It's going to be a busy but fun weekend.
I'm already planning the meals and I've got a yummy one on the menu.
Cedar Plank Salmon with peach salsa! I told you guys I had something yummy up my sleeve to add to Tuesdays recipe and I hope this delivers. The salmon pairs with the peach perfectly!
If you've never cooked with cedar plank salmon recipes before it is super simple.
Just start with a food grade piece of cedar (nothing toxic sprayed on it.) You'll want to soak them in the sink for at least two hours. Learn from my previous mistakes and don't skip this step! This keeps it from catching on fire on the grill 🙂
Season the salmon simply with fresh lime, sea salt, fresh cracked pepper and a touch of garlic powder. You could just as easily use lemon, but I like the way the lime compliments the peach salsa.
Cook on the medium grill for just 15 minutes.
The salmon absorbs the cedar flavor and is wonderful! You can eat it plain...
... or serve it with my Fresh Peach Salsa from Tuesdays post.
Between the grilling and the fresh fruit this is really the best of summer cooking in one dish!
Enjoy!

All about that lemon. I would be totally content just eating lemon slices (if that were socially acceptable) Haha.
