Cedar Planked Salmon

I found the hardest part of this recipe was finding a piece of Cedar, and even that was pretty easy! I just asked really nicely at our local building supply store for an off-cut, fluttered ye olde lashes a bit and BAM, Cedar. The second hardest part was lighting the pizza oven... such a chore... NOT!
Obviously, if you don't have a wood-fired oven, your normal oven will suffice!
Yet another seriously easy but impress-your-friends style meal from yours truly.

Ingredients:
Salmon Fillets (de-boned - demote a pair of tweezers)
S & P
A piece of Cedar plank, 1-3cm thick
Tin Foil
Oven Tray

Method:

Soak your Cedar plank in water for an hour or so, you'll probably need to weigh it down as it'll want to float.
De-bone you Salmon fillets if your fishmonger hasn't already done the honours.
Place the Salmon fillets skin side down on the Cedar plank in an oven dish, pour water into oven dish to almost cover the plank but not touch the Salmon.
Salt and Pepper the Salmon.
Cover in tin foil (aluminium foil).
Bake in oven till cooked! (About 15-20mins depending on thickness of fillets, and how you like them cooked)

I served ours with a creamy mushroom & parmesan pasta bake, but you could serve with salad and new potatoes, risotto, roast veges & asparagus or pretty much any of your favourite side dishes!
