INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

*Untreated cedar pieces are sold by the bundle at most lumberyards and some
hardware stores. Soak untreated cedar pieces (1 piece about 6' x 12", 6
pieces about 3" x 6") in a pan of water overnight or place in a large pot
of water and bring to a boil over med-high heat.  Drain.
Preheat oven to 450 F.  Place large cedar board on a foil-lined cookie
sheet.  Season salmon with salt and pepper, then lay it on the cedar and
slip smaller cedar pieces, a few lemon slices, and a few dill sprigs
(reserve some lemon and dill for garnish) between each steak.  Brush all
over with butter.
Roast until salmon is pink, 20-25 minutes.  Remove salmon from oven.  Take
smaller pieces of cedar out from between steaks and scatter over salmon,
then wrap tightly with foil and set aside to finish "cooking" - and to set
smoky flavor - for 15 mintues.  (For a more well-done fish, return wrapped
salmon to oven and roast for 5 minutes.)  Unwrap, and, when salmon is cool
enough to handle, finish slicing the fish.  Serve steaks garnished with
reserved lemon slices and fresh dill, if desired.
