Try this Cedar-plank salmon for a night cap

This meal does seem extremely hard to pull together and the ingredients may not be so easy to get, but just as you take time to prepare fried rice on special events, this is one you want to do the same for.

The beauty of cooking salmon on cedar planks is that it's amazingly easy, the wood imparts subtle smoky flavor, and it looks downright gourmet.

To do it right, you'll need two cedar planks, soaked in advance, so plan accordingly.
