Spice Plank-Grilled Salmon
"This is the first time I used a cedar plank for cooking fish -- and this is the best way to grill salmon as far as we're concerned (also lower fat too) - the salmon came out so moist and spiced just right -- the fish doesn't taste spicy at all.

I tried this out and it was great. Kudos on the recipe. I bought a board from a great website that a lot of plank sizes to choose from. They were called grillingboards (dot)com

I used the spice rub (but more cayenne for personal taste) on the salmon and since I don't have a grill or the plank for the grill - I used my George Foreman, and it came out delicious! The rub made a "crust" on the fish which was superb! It's a pain to measure out all the spices, but once it's done, you realize it's worth it. Thanks for a keeper! -
Seasoned and grilled as instructed. I did follow PaulaG's idea of seasoning it about an hour before cooking. We have been plank-grilling salmon for a while but this was a delicious variation. Thanks for posting ellie -
Holy yum! This is excellent. Made it as instructed and it turned out perfectly. Will be making this one again and again! -
These nine words came out of my mouth after the first bite: "One of the best salmon recipes I've ever had." Easy to make and really just a fantastic recipe. I didn't cook this plank style, just threw it on the grill but man oh man this was great! Thank you so much for sharing!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
