LEEK-ENCRUSTED CEDAR PLANKED SALMON

Summer time for us means creating memories with people we love and there is no better way to create amazing long lasting memories than outdoors with friends, family and good food!
Here’s some inspiration - By @christiannkoepke .

Think Salmon like you’ve never had it before. Perfectly moist, seasoned with the unexpected addition of smoked salmon. Leeks create the perfect crust. Enjoy this warm or cold the next day. Both equally delicious.
