Grilling with Cedar Planks from Tim Aupperle, Whole Foods Market West Coast Culinary Expert. Cedar-planked salmon began in northwest Native American culture, the fish roasting slowly, downwind of the fire, for wonderful flavor and delicate texture. Here is Tim’s modern take:


Use cedar planks designed for cooking (or 9–12" untreated, kiln dried).
Soak 1 hour or more in water (weigh down with food cans to submerge).
Heat planks on grill grate for 3 minutes.
Place salmon fillets or 1"-thick salmon steaks on the planks and cover grill.
Cook without turning about 15–20 minutes or until just done.
Before placing fish on the plank, brush with a glaze and top with fresh herb sprigs. Try maple syrup and bourbon with rosemary; honey and white wine with tarragon; or sesame oil, brown sugar and rice wine vinegar with sesame seeds (instead of herbs).
