re: cedar plank salmon help

Like others have said, soak the plank for a few hours. Then I will put the plank over flames and get it charred a bit and smoking on the down side, flip the plank and put your salmon on the charred part. Gives it a better cedar flavor IMO.

Don't over cook the salmon. Keep your heat on low for cooking....low and slow. After 10 minutes, Use a fork to pry ithe salmon apart at a spot so you can see if it's red or pink inside. Red, keep cooking, pink is done.

I marinade in an OJ, soy, olive oil , 1 tbls of bourbon solution for at least 4 hrs. Sea salt and pepper on the salmon before cooking.
