There are hundreds of variations to the original Cedar Planked Salmon recipes. Salmon plank-cooks well with any wood flavor and pairs especially well with fresh lemon.
In a small bowl measure the salt, sugar, thyme, oregano, onion powder, lemon pepper, and rosemary.
Mix all the rub ingredients until well combined. Alternatively use a mortar and pestle to grind until combined.
Store in an airtight container.
Smoked Salmon
Preheat a grill or smoker to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place sliced lemons on the soaked plank. Place the fish, skin-side down, on the lemon layer.
Squeeze the lemon over fish, brush with olive oil then sprinkle with the rub.
Grill or bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes in large chunks, or reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F (57 degrees C).
