sorry for the long post but its a 3 part question- didn't want to post 3 threads.

just got my gas grill hooked up two days ago and super pumped to try it out. i bought some cedar planks and i want to do a cedar plank salmon and ive never cooked with it or salmon believe it or not.

1. anyone got any killer recipes? online it looks like its pretty forgiving and you cant go wrong but just curious. looks like most recipes call for a sweeter finish or glaze


2. what type of salmon do you buy? found a local fish market and going today, ive read where wild caught is the best, preferably from west coast or Alaska

3. anyone ever tried steak or chicken on the planks? i looked online and apparently cedar plank steak is amazing


TIA

I can't offer you a recipe, but when I eat at Ruffino' s and someone orders the cedar plank salmon, the smell of the dish when the waiter passes near you is incredible.

It's not salmon, but still comes out great on cedar planks. There's even a video on the link.

I don't claim to be a F&D maestro, but I love this one. LINK

Yes. Stay away from Farm-raised or Atlantic. Unfortunately for me, living in a small town, the only option I can find is farm-raised with color added.

Soak the planks for a couple of hours. Use wild caught salmon. Season liberally with kosher salt and coarse ground pepper. Cook until it flakes. Simple and delicious.
