I thought it was enough to put my cedar plank over aluminum foil and the burners to the lowest setting… luckily, I had the temperature probe in the salmon, so I noticed the flare up right away and it came out not much darker than in the picture.
Hey !food, wanna share a kitchen disaster in the comments?
As the other poster mentioned, cedar planks need to be soaked. I didn’t usually soak them for hours, but at least 15 minutes and the longer the better.
