Preparation Steps

  3. Marinate Salmon: Place salmon in a zip-top bag or shallow dish; pour marinade over and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F).
  5. Prepare Plank and Salmon: Remove soaked cedar planks, dry, and place marinated salmon skin-side down on the plank.
  6. Grill Salmon: Place the plank on the grill, close the lid, and grill for 10 to 15 minutes until salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F.
  7. Serve: Remove cedar plank from the grill, let salmon rest for a few minutes, and serve with grilled veggies or cucumber salad.
