Planked Mahi Mahi question

Beli

Planing on planking some brined Mahi Mahi stakes tomorrow, cedar plank already in water...will let it overnight. Question is temperature.................. Will 450° Dome & 145° Internal be fine? Cook direct?Thank you

I would do them at 350F direct high in the dome and pull when the fish gets flakey, pulls apart and white about 10-15 minutes depending on thickness.

sounds right.

if you don't cook direct, the planks aren't going to do anything for you. they need to smoke, so throw them on direct.

they weren't used for flavor originally, they were the cooking vessel. it's the smoke that does it. don't expect any flavor to come from the food touching the board.
