I love this recipe. However, I prefer to use a grill pan with a cast iron grill, but any heavy bottomed pan will work well. In this recipe, we are going to take advantage of the flavor that the cedar planks impart to salmon. Salmon is a beautiful, mild flavored fish that is excellent in casseroles and on pizzas. It is also a good source of omega 3 fatty acids, which are linked to lower risks of heart disease. This recipe is easy, quick, and extremely tasty. You can serve it with roasted broccoli, or even rice.
How Long Should Salmon Be Grilled?
Salmon is a lean, healthy fish, high in omega 3 fatty acids. There are many ways to grill salmon, but the main two are broiling and grilling. In this guide, we’re going to show you how to grill salmon on cedar plank.
How Long Should Salmon Be Cooked On Cedar Plank?
One of the most popular methods of cooking fish on a cedar plank is to use the “hollowed out” method. The cedar plank is left on a high heat for several hours, until the entire plank is heated through. The salmon should be cooked to medium or a little more than done. Cooking times can be anywhere from 3-8 hours.
How Do I Clean Cedar Plank?
The natural wood of cedar has properties that are beneficial to the grill. It has a high amount of resins that is a natural preservative. And the cedar has a high amount of tannins. Both of these properties mean the grill needs to be cleaned less often than other grills. Cedar should also be kept in a clean environment and from high moisture conditions. Over time the grates can become stained. You can clean the grill with a non-abrasive cleaner that doesn’t damage the natural oils in the wood. Scrub the grates with the right sized brush to remove the dust and dirt. If necessary, you can use a grilling brush. You can also use salt. Salt can be sprayed on the grates and rubbed off. But before cleaning the grill, ensure you have a clean grill and you have the right tools. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to use a cleaner that is appropriate for your grill. A cleaner that is too abrasive can destroy the grill. And a cleaner that is too mild can actually damage the grill.
