Marinated Cedar-Plank Salmon

Ingredients

6 Salmon Filets, 7-8 ounces each

1/3 cup Non-Stick Marinade for Seafood

2 Tbl Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed

2 tsp Kosher Salt

1 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground

1 Large Cedar Plank, soaked for one hour in water

1/3 cup olive oil

1 Tbl Dijon Mustard

1 Tbl Balsamic Vinegar

2 tsp Garlic Powder

2 tsp Shallot, minced

Instructions

Combine the lemon juice with the non-stick marinade. Brush the salmon filets with the mixture and sprinkle with the kosher salt and black pepper.

Blot the soaked cedar plank dry. Combine the olive oil, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder and shallot in a mixing bowl. Brush this mixture on the cedar plank.

Prepare the grill. Place the cedar plank, marinated side up over direct high heat until it begins to smoke.

Arrange the salmon filets on the plank, leaving space between each one and move the plank to indirect high heat. Cook until the salmon is just pink in the center, about 10-12 minutes.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
