What better recipe to share in honor of Father’s Day but a delicious grilled salmon? 
My husband and my Dad are both ‘Masters of the Grill’ and seafood lovers so I dedicate this recipe to them on their special day! I used a cedar plank as a fun technique and for added flavor and made a simple spice rub for the salmon. I served it with veggie kabobs and rice for a flavorful and healthy grilled dinner perfect for Dad’s Day {or any day}!

For Father’s Day this year we joined my parents in Baton Rouge for a long weekend. We started our day with a delicious jazz brunch at Copeland’s then took a road trip along River Rd to view a few of the historic Plantations and gardens. It was a fantastic, fun filled day with my Mom, daughter, and two favorite men- my husband and my Dad. 
I will always be a Daddy’s girl!
The two special Dad’s. We are so blessed to have you both in our lives!    
How adorable is this minion card I made for Ashton? I used  paint pens, mod podge, and a bottle cap.

  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 2 tsp ancho chili powder

  • Brush kabobs with oil and season with salt and pepper.

  • Place soaked plank on preheated grill, close lid, and heat for 3 minutes.
  • Using tongs turn plank over and place salmon on heated side of plank.

Notes

Salmon recipe from Fire and Flavor
Did you make this Recipe?Tag @flchefnicole or hashtag #fortheloveoffoodblog
I found these Cedar grilling planks at Lowes and I am hooked! Simply soak for an hour in water then warm on the grill for a few minutes and top with your seafood or meat and grill. Super easy and tons of flavor!
Beautiful fresh salmon filets and a tasty spice rub- perfect for the grill!

The spice rub is from the Fire and Flavor company. Mix together
1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp coarse salt, 2 tsp ancho chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a bowl.
Rub salon all over with the spice rub and set aside.
 
Prepare your kabobs by chopping thick veggies like squash, zucchini,
peppers, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, and/or cauliflower and threading
onto soaked bamboo skewers {or skip the soaking and use metal kabobs}. 

Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Time to get our grill on!
Preheat your grill to 350 degrees. Remember to add your soaked plank to the grill for 3 minutes {close the lid} to warm, flip, then add salmon.
Grill your salmon and veggies. Salmon should take 12-15 minutes. Grill veggies until tender, around 15-20 minutes {depending on what veggies you use and how large}.
 
Carefully remove planked salmon {I use tongs to slide onto a baking sheet}.
Veggies are tender and have a nice char.

Drizzle honey on warm salmon.
Serve on a bed of Jasmine rice with a veggie kabob.

Cedar Plank Salmon has quickly become a staple in our home. 
Dinner is served!

Well, we made it 8 years with my wild child with no broken bones...until skate night last night. Stella has a small fracture on her finger and had to get a splint at the hospital today. But in true Stella fashion, it is not slowing her down! #wildchild #mamasgirl #brokenbone #bravegirl #wildone
