Whether grilled, pan-seared, or broiled, salmon fillets make an easy (and healthy) weeknight dinner. From Cedar Planked Salmon with Lemon, Garlic & Herbs to Thai Chili-Glazed Salmon, these recipes are all serious family-pleasers.
Cedar planked salmon is a mainstay on restaurant menus, yet it's so easy -- not to mention less expensive -- to make at home. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare it: the cedar plank and herbs impart a smoky, woodsy flavor, while the lemon zest and garlic add zing. The plank prevents the fish from sticking to the grill and makes clean-up a breeze. GET THE RECIPE
