Note

When preparing Cedar Plank Salmon, soaking the cedar plank for at least 1-2 hours before grilling is crucial. This prevents the plank from burning and allows it to produce a flavorful smoke that enhances the salmon's taste. Experimenting with different seasonings or marinades can tailor the flavor to your preference, but be cautious with ingredients high in sugar if you're following a keto diet.
