Instructions
- Submerge the cedar planks into a casserole dish filled halfway with water and let it sit for about 30 minutes. This will ensure the plank does not catch fire when grilling. I like to place a few forks over the top of the planks to ensure they are submerged.
- Pre-heat your grill to medium-high heat, anywhere between 400° and 450°.
- Pat dry the salmon fillets on both sides with a paper towel.
- Next, rub it down with oil on all sides and then generously season it with coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Place the seasoned salmon fillets onto the cedar plank making sure no parts of it are hanging off.
- Add the plank directly to the grill, close the grill door, and cook for 15 to 18 minutes or until the salmon is browned on top and cooked throughout.
- Serve with melted butter and lemon juice.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: The salmon is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking.
- How to Store: The best way to store this salmon is in a plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be stored in a plastic container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- How to Reheat: Place the salmon on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper or in a pan and cook in the oven at 350° for 6 to 8 minutes or until warm.
- For Cooking in the Oven: Follow Steps 1 through 5, then preheat your oven to 450°. Place the water-soaked cedar planks onto a sheet tray and place the salmon on top of the cedar planks before putting everything into the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned and cooked throughout.
- Make sure your cedar planks are large enough that a large piece of fish can cook on them.
- Feel free to use a cedar, cherry, maple, hickory, oak, or alder plank when cooking this salmon.
- Do not reuse the cedar plank after you have cooked on it.
