First cedar plank salmon

Rubbed it down with EVOO, Dizzy Pig Raging River.   Cooked direct, 400, for about 25 minutes or so.   Probably went about 5 minutes too long for my taste, but wife was happy.

    My wife wants me to try this, so it gets a bookmark.  I'm not a big fan of salmon but she loves it so guess who wins. This looks really good though. How do you know when salmon is finished?    And where do you find tomatoes that look that ripe this time of year?

    Looks great from here!  Your plate reminds me of a summer cook, warmer days ahead.  Nice job.

    Those tomatoes look so good and red partially because I tossed them on the grill for a a couple of minutes.   I do halved tomatoes like that a lot and like them but the slices came out too soft for me so won't do that again.

    As for the salmon being finished, I was just shooting for 145 internal, which I went well beyond.    Next time I'll start eye-balling it about 10 minutes earlier than I did this first time.
