  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced

Cook time

Instructions

  1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375–400°F).
  3. Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the soaked plank on the grill, close the lid, and heat for 2–3 minutes until it starts to crackle.
  5. Add the salmon to the plank, skin side down. Close the lid and grill for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While salmon cooks, mix the dressing: whisk lime juice, honey, and olive oil together. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Toss the fruit with basil, mint, and red onion (if using). Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to combine.
  8. Serve the salmon straight from the plank with the fruit salad on the side or spooned over the top.
