Plank Salmon...

This is plank salmon...you know the planks you can buy at this time of year at the BBQ sections of the store...and you look at them and never buy them? Well go ahead and buy them...it is worth it...it makes cooking salmon on the BBQ flawless....it is moist and a slightly smoke flavor...so very delicious...it doesn't fall apart on you between the grates...

you start by going to the Market and buying fresh Alaska salmon at the flying fish place...

season your fish and let rest, soak your cedar plank in water until time to use... start the briquets....

when the birquets are ready...place the wet plank of top of the heat.....no need to oil the plank, the moisture that is in the plank provides enough moisture to keep it form sticking....

top with the salmon.....and place the lid on...cook about 20 minutes and then check...remember the thermometer? Time to get it out and make sure the interior of the salmon is between 130-140 degrees....

it will look like this......scoot it on a plate or serve right on the plank!

The best perfectly cooked Northwest Salmon....

Cheers to Happy  !!
