Cedar Planked Grilled Salmon Salad is so refreshing this time of year, and a cinch to make using Cedar Bay Grilling Company's pre-seasoned cedar planked salmon.
Cedar Bay Grilling Company takes all the guess work out of preparation when it comes to seasoning and grilling planked salmon. Cedar Bay salmon products come pre-seasoned and ready to be placed directly into the oven or onto the BBQ with little-to-no preparation required.
This recipe is my third and final submission for the Blogger Recipe Challenge, entered in the Grilling Category.
