Grilled cedar-plank salmon

FIRE in the HOLE!

Ken, the whole sodium discussion is occurring on three boards that I canvass. Go figure. lol

I've never done cedar-planked but have grilled salmon in foil. mmm mmm good.

I bought the planks 2 years ago. They are still in their virgin plastic wrappers.

The frozen Sam's Club salmon is pretty good.

Snide, for the best flavor I'd age the planks (at the very least) 3 more years.

Ken is correct about farmed salmon. Many times they are penned up and swimming in fish shit. The meat of farmed salmon is not the beautiful pink that you get from Atlantic salmon or salmon caught in Alaska. Many sellers add food coloring to farmed salmon.

Laugh out loud. Someone's discovered how salmon's been cooked in Vancouver for a million years...give or take a million.

When are you coming to Vancouver?

Yes, the Columbia River tribes near what is now Vancouver, WA, have been doing it that way for thousands of years.

BC? Nice place. Enjoyed the hell out of my visit last month. Sorry, didn't have much time to give a ring. Next time.

Lisa, not a fan of that method because it poaches the fish. Nothing wrong with the method at all, I just don't like the flavor it imparts.

So I'm at Costco a while back and some idiot directs her husband to the farm-raised (aka nasty) Atlantic salmon over the ... fresh-caught Cooper River salmon because of the, you guessed it, deep orange-pink color of the Cooper River, which she said was an unhealthy and unnatural chemical additive. Amazing. And we let them vote and have children!

Copper River.

Yes, Copper. Typo.
