Place the cedar plank(s) on the grill over indirect heat and allow for the plank(s) to smoke; usually about 5 minutes. Place the salmon on the plank(s) and turn the burners to a low heat and cook for 20 minutes or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees.
Serves well with lemon wedges, grilled vegetables and rice pilaf. Enjoy!
