How to Make Bbq Salmon On Wet Plank Old Native Indian Recipe

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F/175°C).
  2. Rinse the cedar plank thoroughly and soak it in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents it from burning on the grill.
  3. While the plank soaks, prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the soaked plank.
  4. Drizzle the salmon fillets with 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder evenly over the salmon.
  6. Place the cedar plank with the salmon directly onto the preheated grill.
  7. Grill for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Carefully remove the plank from the grill using tongs and let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like dill or parsley.
