My first cedar plank salmon

Planks from Outdoor Gourmet are soaking. Going to simply put some DP Raging River on and cook. Suggestions on time and temp? Raised direct or direct (have AR). Pics soon. Thanks!

I do raised direct around 350* for about 20-25 minutes; until IT reaches 140*

I would probably go raised direct so the planks don't burn too much. 350-400ish until it flakes with a fork, or IT is about 140.

Thanks for the quick responses. Egg is coming up to temp now.

Raised direct gives you a little more wiggle room but you're fine direct too, I'd say start your cook around 300 if not raised. It'll be delicious!

I do raised direct on plank at 250*with alder chips. Its slow but so good and moist!

Salmon came out great!!! Cooked at 350-400 for 22 minutes or so raised direct on middle level of AR. Smooth and buttery. Oven baked salmon comes out drier - this felt like it was marinated in butter or something. Simply amazing. Thanks everyone.

@HofstraJet - Looks great! I love planked salmon on the Egg.

Great cook! I'm just throwing this out there, but I do some cooking with the clay bakers. If you have not used these before, you soak in water to help steam what you are baking. I am wondering if it's possible something like this could be made into a fish plank. Hmm.

Only thing is you would loose the wonderful kiss of Cedar the planks impart to the fish. It's divine IMHO.
