In a small bowl, combine shallots, garlic, dill, thyme, cilantro, lemon zest and juice, green onions and olive oil.  Cover and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to do their thing and get super tasty. ;)

Place your beautiful salmon on a cedar plank and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the salmon with the herb mixture. Set the plank on the preheated BBQ and close the lid. Cook for 30 mins on medium to high heat, until the fish flakes easily with a fork… depending on how well-done you like your salmon. (I like mine a little more rare).

To prepare Cucumber Dill Sauce, finely chop cucumber, toss with salt and let stand for 15 mins. 

Top fish with generous spoonful of cucumber dill sauce and serve...
