I have planked a lot of salmon (whole side of fish)on Weber but only a few on egg. We're talking presentation here. I don't like over cooked salmon but for presentation I like a darker appearance on the top. Not happening on my egg. I cook 12 minutes max on hot (425) fire. 15 for really large slab. Any ideas how to darken up without over cooking? Pics here appear dark. Thanks

I was going to say the same thing. Give this a try.

Will sugar get hot enough to darken on a planked piece of fish, before overcooking it?  It works beautifully in frying or direct grilling, but I have my doubts when the fish is planked.
