Cedar plank salmon has a rich history dating back to the indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest, who cooked salmon on cedar planks over open fires. This traditional method imparts a smoky, woodsy flavor to the fish, elevating its natural taste. Today, renowned chefs and restaurants across the region, such as Seattle's iconic Pike Place Market, have embraced this technique, showcasing the dish's cultural significance. The best cedar plank salmon can be found in the Pacific Northwest, where the fish is locally sourced and prepared with a perfect balance of seasoning and smokiness. To achieve the best results, using high-quality cedar planks and fresh, wild-caught salmon is essential.
