Product Information

Soak your cedar planks for about 2 hours in warm, salted water. Remove skin and any bones that are left in your fish. Rinse and pat your filets dry. Season your fillets on both sides, and then lay them out on the cedar plank, adding mustard over the sides and top of your filets and crumbling some brown sugar over the top. Pre-soak your planks for a minimum of an hour. While you soak it, take out a mixing bowl and add in lemon zest, thyme, sugar, and seasoning, mixing it with a spoon or fork. Place your filet on the cedar plank and brush it gently with olive oil. Add your lemon mix to the top of the salmon. Next, preheat your grill to high. Once it is fully heated, turn off every burner but one and add your cedar plank. Grill your filet for about 20 minutes, then add your sauce. For your sauce, mix sauce ingredients together and refrigerate it until you are ready to go. Sweet Dill Cedar Plank Salmon The durability of the wood is exceptional, and, it has very little water movement even when left outdoors. This means that you do not necessarily need to treat your cedar even if you use it externally, although, it will go silver grey over time without UV protection.

Make sure to soak your cedar plank for a minimum of half an hour. Coat your fish with the rub and chill it while you preheat your grill. Grill it directly on the grill for about 3 minutes to add in grill marks, then complete another 20 minutes of cooking time on the grill with the fish on the plank. Add your lemon slices when you put the filet on the plank. When finished, add some chopped green onion as a garnish. Apricot Glazed Cedar Plank Salmon British Western Red Cedar is moderately durable. British Western Red Cedar is light in weight and soft timber contributes to low strength properties and compared with European Redwood it is some 20% to 30% inferior in bending strength and 15 less stiff. It is also less resistant to splitting and indentation on side grain than Redwood. Reusing the Cedar planks: This is not something we recommend, although it is possible, especially if cooked over indirect eat. Keep in mind the board will soak up the flavors of whatever was cooked on it. And, if you grilled with direct heat, the board may be charred and difficult to handle or clean. If you really want to reuse the board, you can scrape off any leftover food, clean it with hot water (no soap) and let it re-soak in water before re-using. How to cook Cedar Plank Salmon: Pre-soak your planks for about two hours and preheat your grill to medium-high. In a bowl, melt your butter and add in some lime juice, garlic, and cayenne pepper to taste. Season your filets with salt and pepper, then add them to your plank and grill for about fifteen minutes with the lid down. As you let it rest for five minutes after grilling, brush on your butter mix and allow it to melt down over the salmon. Horseradish Cedar Plank Salmon Another factor to consider is the size of your plank – a 5”x11” plank is great for three 6 ounce servings of salmon, but if you have a large fish fillet you’ll need an extra-large plank. As a general rule of thumb – you want food to cover the majority of the plank, but not to hang over the edges.

Asian-Inspired Cedar Plank SalmonWhen choosing your plank you’ll want to consider which type of wood you want to cook with and what size plank will work for the dish you’re cooking. Different types of wood will infuse your food with different flavors. Soak your plank for a minimum of 2 hours in warm, salted water. If you’re having a hard time keeping it under the water, put a large container of water on top of it in the sink. Finely dice your jalapeño and finely grate your garlic. Heat up a few teaspoons of oil and add in jalapenos to a sauté pan to preheat them and release the spice. Add in the garlic for just a short time and add in your wine.

Bring your pan to a boil, and then turn down the heat to low and let it simmer for roughly 20 minutes.

Now that you’ve decided on your plank size and wood type it’s time to get cooking!

Since you’re placing your food directly on the wood plank you’ll want to be certain it is 100% pure and clean. Sustainability is something you may want to consider when purchasing wood products.
