I'm making salmon for Thanksgiving. I want it to have a smokey flavor. If I bake it in the oven on a cedar plank, will it impart a smokey flavor?

Isn't it one of the most delicious things ever?!?!  We're still going to have turkey but this will be great for the Pescatarians :)

I think is a delicious idea and change to traditional turkey! Best of luck. I love cedar-planked fish.

ShelleyWellness · Answer

Yes, I will definitely soak it. Thanks so much :)

Thank you! I've already ordered planks, but next time I will check out Wildwood Grilling :)  I'm going to use this technique and I'm sure the guests are going to love it!

Yes, you can use it in the oven and it will impart a smoky flavor. Don't forget to make sure the board has been submerged in water at least two hours much loner a day for best results.
