Planking is a rather new experience for us. I prepare the food and DH does the rest. This recipe is adapted from kraftfoods.com and is so simple to make. The original recipe called for parsley which I didn't have. I used fresh garden basil and loved it. Serve with rice, fresh bread and a salad for a lovely meal that is sure to impress. Please note: The cooking or prep time does not include the time needed to soak the cedar plank.

Tips:

Use a high-quality cedar plank for best flavor and to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent it from burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before adding the salmon.
Place the salmon skin-side down on the cedar plank.
Grill the salmon for 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness, or until it is cooked through.
Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Grilling salmon on a cedar plank is a delicious and easy way to cook fish. The cedar plank imparts a smoky flavor to the salmon, and the fish cooks evenly and moistly. This method is perfect for a summer cookout or a special occasion dinner.
