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.

Grilled to perfection 
Orange Ginger Cedar Planked Salmon cooked on my little gas grill for 18 minutes
The flaky texture of the Orange Ginger Cedar Planked Atlantic Salmon is accentuated by the addition of grilled Hawaiian fruits, avocado and toasted macadamia nuts; bringing a delicious texture along with a smokey flavor of summer to the dish.
