Cedar Plank Salmon with Mixed Greens & Avocado Dressing

I'm not crazy about fish......but this was goooooood!

Soak a cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour.  Take it out of the water and put sliced lemons on it, top with salmon fillets.  I spread about 1/2 tsp of honey on each filet, then rub in the spice.  You can use whatever you like but this is what I used. Summer Kitchen Gone Fishing spice rub from HomeSense.

(If you don't want to BBQ you can also put your lemon slices on a piece of foil, top with fish and seasonings and wrap up. Bake at 400F for 20 mins then uncover and broil, keeping an eye on it, for 3-5 mins) 

If you are BBQ'ing you need to have the BBQ at 375-400F. Put the plank with the salmon in, close the lid and bake for 20-25 minutes.  Then be patient and let them sit 5 minutes before serving on a bed of rice.



For the salad take 1 ripe avocado, 2 Tbsp. lime juice, 3 Tbsp. water, 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar, 1 Tbsp. cilantro, 1 small garlic clove, 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Combine in a food processor and refrigerate until ready to use. (recipe from Ontario turkey farmers booklet)

Toss together 3 cups greens, 3 cups broccoli slaw, 1 cup grape tomatoes halved and 1/2 cup corn kernels.

I'll be making this again!

I bought some Basa fillets last week...........maybe I'll try this recipe with them, will keep you posted.
