How long does it take to grill salmon on a cedar plank?

For this recipe, it takes 11 minutes. However, the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish.

Do you flip salmon when grilling on a cedar plank?

No. If your salmon is an even thickness throughout, you won't need to flip it over because it'll cook evenly.

Do I need to soak a cedar plank for salmon?

You always need to soak the plank in water 2 hours before cooking. This will prevent any excess charring or possible burning. It also helps keep the salmon nice and moist.

Can you wash and reuse cedar planks for salmon?

Yes! Scrape the plank to remove all the leftover bits of salmon and then soak it in warm water with 3 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. You can skip the vinegar but it helps disinfect the surface. Leave it out to dry completely. The planks can be reused up to 3 times.
