It’s a school-night so I tend to turn to fast-cooking meals. Fish is definitely a staple in our house for just that reason. And salmon is a family favorite – just look at how many ways I’ve made it quickly on weeknights. It is such a flavorful fish, it’s great brain food and it cooks up so nicely.

For tonight’s dinner, I made a lemon caper butter sauce to go on top of it. This sauce helps keep the salmon moist (over done salmon is not good!) and adds a really tasty flavor to it. I highly recommend not skipping this part of the recipe. 🙂

Oh, before I forget, don’t forget to soak your cedar planks! Otherwise, they’ll catch fire the second you put them on the grill. What you want is for the smoke of the wood to soak up into the fish (believe me, it’s enchanting)! As long as you don’t forget to soak them, you’ll be good to go!

Let me know your favorite way to make salmon in the comments below and maybe I’ll make it next time! Happy cooking!
