This is from a recipe card I picked up at our local Safeway store years ago. I'm posting it here for safe keeping so I can try it when the weather is warmer and more conducive to outdoor grilling (here in the Pacific Northwest). Steamed Basmati rice is a great side dish for this grilled salmon recipe. The card noted that a good pairing is to serve this dish with a Fumé Blanc white wine (for its oak and melon undertones). NOTE: If you choose to use a plank for preparing this recipe, please be sure to soak the plank in water for at least 2 hours before grilling, to prevent burning.
