Finally

Farbuck

After an exhausting 6 weeks, I finally cooked something the little missus thought was great.  Not too salty, not too dry, not too spicy, just right.

It was cedar-palnked salmon.

The most basic technique - soak the cedar for 4 hours, coat the salmon with EVOO, salt and pepper and cook raised direct at 400 degrees.  Took the fish off at about 135 and it was perfect.

Bravo!

Very nice!!  There is nothing like fresh salmon on the egg!!  Makes me homesick for AK.  One of the lodges I flew for just contacted me.  I would go back in a heartbeat, but for the things we do for love...

good job farbuck! you will start to learn it. Takes time and especially with the egg, tastes are different and seasonings must be adjusted accordingly.

Very happy for your win. Salmon plank is a weekly occurrence when it's in season at my house. I usually do it at the end of a cook after the smoke is pretty much gone. That might work for you  in your situation after you do a low and slow for yourself.
