Cedar plank salmon shows up on restaurant menus all the time, but it’s so easy to make at home. I love marinating the salmon in lemon zest, garlic, and herbs—the citrus and garlic add zing, while the herbs and cedar plank lend a woodsy, smoky flavor. To keep things simple, I buy salmon fillets already skinned and cut into portions. Once home, I quickly mix the marinade, pop the salmon in the fridge, and go about my day. Come dinnertime, all that’s left to do is soak the plank, fire up the grill, and prep a few sides.
