Fresh wood flavor can be achieved on a grilling plank by the process of moisture leaving the plank and passing into the food. If soaked for a period of time the plank absorbs moisture and when exposed to heat, this moisture rises up and brings the characteristic wood flavor with it. I took 5 grilling planks of the same size, weight and grain configuration which just means the planks were cut from the same part of the tree and the natural tree rings all ran in the same direction.
Water was continually absorbed into the plank for the full 60 minutes; however, after 15 minutes the absorption rate slowed down considerably. Here are the flavor results:. The soak time needs to be effective. For example, can the same amount of fresh wood flavor be achieved by a 5-minute soak as well as a hour soak?
The soak time needs to be practical. A substantial amount of fresh wood flavor can be achieved and there is no time wasted on unnecessary soak times.

Rating: 5 stars. I just made this last night and it was absolutely fantastic! I didn't have green onions so I used minced red onion.
My in-laws were so impressed they wanted to have a plank to take home! The package on the plank states that if it's not too charred you can use is again after cleaning with warm water and letting it air dry. Also, to save time, planks can be presoaked and frozen. I can't encourage you enough to try this incredible recipe! Thank you for the post. Read More. Most helpful critical review Cooking Mama. Rating: 2 stars. First off this was my first time eating or making a salmon dish so we'll discount my opinion - I just don't like salmon.
This seemed like a lot of work for the end result. My husband - who does like salmon - was not impressed. We just didn't get it. Reviews: Most Helpful. Zsuzsanna Silva. My boyfriend said this was the best piece of fish he's ever had!
I soaked the cedar for about 7 hours then oiled one side. I used a 2. I heated the plank and then put the fish on for 20 minutes, then turned off the heat and kept it on the grill for about 5 more minutes before serving.
Outstanding recipe! I ended up doing in the oven at due to heavy rain. It was still delicious. I highly recommend making this. Thanks for sharing. There is nothing better in Seattle than cedar planked salmon - unless it is Copper River Cedar planked Salmon. I usually just use olive oil, salt,pepper and dill and people who've never experienced planked fish can't get over the "fabulous" seasoning.
Do soak the planks as long as you can 4 to 24 hours - mine always catch on fire. Makes for a spectacular presentation though Being an Alaska resident I'm very picky about my salmon.
