Wooden grill planks are becoming easier and easier to find these days. Stores like Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart all carry them. If you can’t find them in a store, they are available for purchase online at amazon.com. Just be sure to pay attention to the type of wood the plank is made from—different varieties of wood give the food a different flavor. And make sure you read the instructions enclosed with the planks for proper cleaning and care.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Place the plank on the grill and preheat the grill to medium heat.
Step 2
Rub the oil evenly over the salmon fillets. Season them evenly with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Carefully open the grill. If the plank is ready, it should smoke, and it may crackle; if it begins to warp, flip it over and let it settle. Set the salmon fillets side by side on the plank, not touching. Grill for about 6 minutes. Using a spatula, gently loosen the fillets (they may stick slightly) and flip them. Grill them 4 to 6 minutes more, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. Serve immediately.
