Cooking over a campfire? Prepare cedar plank and fish as directed. Arrange hot coals to one side of campfire and carefully place grill grate over top. Place cedar plank with salmon over indirect heat (the side without the flames). Tent with foil for even cooking and smoky cedar flavor. Cook as directed, rearranging hot coals as needed to maintain indirect heat.
