Instructions

Soak the cedar plank in water for 1 hour.
Slice ½ of the lemon into thin slices. Season the fish with the remaining juice from the ½ lemon, salt, oregano, and black pepper.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill.
In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, olives, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Place the fresh herbs and salmon, skin side down, on the plank. Top with lemon slices.
Heat the grill to medium-high, leaving the right burners off. Close the lid and let the grill get hot.
Place the planked salmon on the direct heat side for 3 to 4 minutes, until the planks start to smoke and get a little charred on the bottom and edges.
Transfer the plank to the indirect heat side, cover, and grill for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness, or until the salmon is cooked through in the thickest part.
Top with the tomato mixture, serve, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

While grilling, occasionally check to make sure the edges of the plank don’t ignite. Keep a spray bottle with water in handy if the plank catches fire.
