    You should be fine. I have planked salmon on Alder, Cedar, and Maple.... I have not tried using hickory myself, but two weeks ago a friend gave me some cured and smoked salmon using hickory that was really good.

    I made these on a cedar plank last Saturday
    DSC03506.jpg

    This marinade was on the package of planks:

    Salmon Fillets 2 lbs.
    Vegetable oil 2 Tbsp
    Soy sauce 1 Tbsp
    Chardonnay, Bourbon or Whiskey 3 Tbsp
    Ground ginger 1/2 Tbsp
    Brown sugar 1 Tbsp
    Pepper to taste

    Marinate salmon in this for 20 minutes and glaze after about 5 minutes. Direct, dome about 425ish
    drizzle with lemon and eat.

    I don't really like fish but I love this.

    You can certainly use a cedar plank. Lots of folks do. If you come across some alder planks, tho, snap them up and give them a try. Smoking alder smells a lot better (to me) than smoking cedar.
