I’ve been making cedar plank salmon for years (with an Asian-themed marinade in which the filets soak for an hour), but I always put the soaked planks onto the charcoal grill for 3 or 4 minutes (covered) before putting the salmon on the planks. The cooking time is shorter (8-10 minutes) and the results are fantastic. Out here in the Pacific Northwest, we like our wild-caught Chinook or Sockeye salmon to be still red and just barely warm in the center.

Thank you so much Ann! I’m glad you enjoy the salmon!

Wow – made this for guests this weekend and it definitely will be added to the rotation! We don’t have a lot of experience cooking salmon – this was so easy to prepare and grill but tasted delicious and looked amazing. Your directions were spot on!

Thanks April!

So easy and the flavor is spot on. I bought filets already on a plank and it worked perfectly without the soaking. Thank you so much for an amazing recipe.

I’ve never tried this method in the oven but I believe that you can. Good luck!

Holy cow! This was amazing! We halved the recipe because we had 1 lb. Salmon and 1 cedar plank. It was perfect! It was incredibly moist and the flavors were spot on! Wouldn’t change a thing! I would love to share the recipe with our kids but they both live in apartments and only have small indoor grills. Do you think they could get similar results if cooked in the oven?

I love to hear this, Big Papa!

This is crazy good salmon. Our family loves grilled salmon and this is our go-to when we want to change it up a bit.

Ours too! Thanks for letting me know, Terry! 🙂

This is our favorite way to make salmon!

Yay! Thanks Karly!
