What Does Planking A Salmon Mean?
Planking a salmon means cooking the salmon on a wood plank, typically cedar or alder, over a grill or open flame. The wood imparts flavor and moisture to the salmon, creating a smoky, rich taste. The plank also helps to prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill and becoming dry. It’s a popular and delicious way to prepare salmon, and it’s especially popular in North America’s Pacific Northwest.
