Cooking Know-How

UNTREATED cedar planks, which are sold for this purpose, can be found at most specialty food stores or some grocery stores. Keep a spray bottle of water close at hand if needed for flare-ups.

Variation

Salmon can also be grilled on a sheet of heavy-duty foil instead of the cedar plank.

I absolutely love this dish! The salmon is so moist and flavorful, and the cedar flavor that the plank gives the salmon is superb! This recipe is so easy to make and is fabulous for company. I will continue to make this dish...it is a winner, hands down!

This was fantastic. My dinner guests were blown away with the spectacular flavour. I'll be making this often. (In the oven cook at 400 F for 25-30 minutes).
