Soak the cedar wood plank in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Preheat the Weber gas BBQ to medium heat and cover it.

Divide the salmon fillet into two pieces.

In a saucepan, mix butter and olive oil with herby salt mix and allow it to infuse.

Lay the salmon fillets on the soaked cedar plank.

Brush the salmon with the infused butter and olive oil mixture.

Place the cedar plank with salmon on the BBQ and cover it to allow smoking for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the ripe plantains by dividing them in half with the skin on to keep them moist while grilling.

Place the plantains on the grill alongside the salmon for the last few minutes of cooking.
