Step #1 Soak cedar planks in water for 4 to 6 hrs.
Step #2 (This is essential to make sure planks do not catch fire, so don't skimp on this step)
Preheat grill to high.
Step #3 Spice up the soaked planks with salt & pepper & place on the grill for 3 to 5 mins with lid closed.
Step #4 They will begin to crackle & smoke.
Step #5 Place salmon fillets carefully on cooking planks, skin side of the fish on the plank.
Step #6 Close the lid & bake the fillets for 12-15 mins.
Step #7 Check periodically to make sure cooking planks have not caught fire.
Step #8 Have a spray bottle of water on hand to spritz planks in case they do, but it is much less likely to happen if they have been well soaked beforehand.
Step #9 Remove cooking planks from grill & squeeze lemon juice over salmon fillets & top off with your favorite Hollandaise recipe or mix (I use Knorr & add dill weed).
