Note
To avoid catching fire while grilling Cedar Planked Salmon, immerse it in water for at least 1-2 hours. This will also help to generate steam during cooking, keeping the salmon moist. Make sure your grill is warmed and keep a close eye on the cooking time; salmon is fully done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Consider topping the salmon with herbs or citrus slices before grilling to improve the flavor.
