I had some rough pieces of cedar left over from my log milling adventure and we happened to have a 5 lb. salmon in the freezer.
A little melted butter, some fresh garlic, lime and chopped up home grown dill.

Run rough cedar though the planer until it’s smooth on one side.

Cut to size.

Soak cedar in water for a couple of hours.

Get grill smokin’ hot with home made oak charcaol.

Slice fish down the middle.

Mix melted butter, dill, lime juice and garlic together, nuke for 30 seconds, paint on fish and planks.

Put on cooler side of the grill until done, then put a little more butter mixture on the fish and put on hot side of the grill for about 5 minutes.

Enjoy!

More Fish in the freezer, Lemme know when you’ll be here and I’ll set the grill up for a real good time.
The cost will be showing and teaching the wood working skills you have!

Oh…. and some beer of course!

That has to be one of the most interesting finishes I’ve ever seen (or tasted) ;) Try it with some capers.

Fish oil finish, gotta try it. Great idea, thanks for sharing (the idea, not the food)

Soak cedar in water for a couple of hours

Reminds me of the first time my wife cooked salmon for a group of us. Got every step right except she skipped that one almost entirely (ran them under water for a few seconds).

Needless to say, the salmon had an extra smokey flavor that night. She can cook no doubt about that, but just didn’t think that one through in her rush.

That picture reminded me of that night. Thanks. Good stuff.
