Marinated Cedar Plank Salmon with Truffle Marinated Broccolini
Marinated Cedar Plank Salmon with Truffle Marinated Broccolini

I love the scent of the smokey cedar plank smoke that seeps from the bbq while the salmon cooks away in this recipe. It gets a sticky and sweet top from the salty miso maple marinade and it tastes so good with the charred broccolini with the truffle vinaigrette. Sounds fancy, but so simple and SUPER delicious!
