Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon Fillet Recipe

I have been always interested in grilled salmon recipes. I should confess, this is my most favourite fish dish. I can eat salmon in any form. And I always look for salmon recipes in various culinary books.

And, of course, I’ve got lots of different salmon recipes on my site. It will just suffice to mention salmon recipe of Jaakko Sorsa, or simple but extremely tasty salmon steak of Michelin-starred Jean-Pierre Jacob.

When I was in one of the best Moldovan restaurants I tasted one of the best grilled salmon recipe in my life. Believe me, it’s worth cooking. So here it is.
