Recipe News: Recipes for seafood on the grill

Not ready to tackle a side of beef or spit-roasted pig? Start with something a little easier, a salmon steak marinated in saffron-infused vodka and citrus juice, then drizzled with basil olive oil.
Another popular method of grilling seafood is on a cedar plank, which are sold in most kitchen supply shops and many grocers (check the seafood section).

This method infuses the fish with the savory taste of cedar in a way similar to smoking, but without the trouble and time. And because the fish is cooked right on the plank, this technique is particularly good for delicate fish that might fall apart on the grill.

When buying cedar planks, it is important to select untreated planks. The planks should be soaked in water for an hour or so before using.
