cedar plank

Salmon cooking surface

A cedar plank is a flat board of cedar wood used in cooking, especially for grilling or roasting fish.

The plank is soaked in water, the food placed on top, and the whole thing set over heat.

The wet wood smolders and steams, infusing the food with smoky cedar flavor while keeping it moist: cedar plank salmon.
