HOW TO GRILL FISH FILETS ON CEDAR PLANKS - with Chef Romy Prasad 

This is a surprisingly high quality video from being published in 2011. Good job guys.

Tried this method for the first time tonight with 8 guests everybody raved about it and loved it. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the tips. Just tried salmon on Cedar planks, turned out very good. Did my own variation on the spices, of course. One of my planks did catch fire near the end, but I had a spray bottle of water to douse the flame. The fish need to be cooked to 120 degrees in the center, which required about 2 minutes over what they say in the video on my grill. Also the searing should have been about 3-4 minutes rather than 2 minutes. Way easier than my bullet smoker.

Thanks for the video. I've been using this method for two years now and have the bed of herbs down. I use thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, pepper, and quality olive oil.

thank you! I needed to see exactly this! on the menu this weekend.

Chef Romy is AWESOME!!

Awesome! Bought some planks today. Can't wait to give it a try! 😀

Thanks for the introduction to cooking on planks. :-)

Most people I know do not like their salmon medium rare. They prefer it a bit more done. It will still be juicy and oily if cooked medium as long as the fillet is not too thin. They forgot to mention the planks you use for this must be food grade for cooking because other cedar wood is likely chemically treated (construction cedar). So don't go cutting some cedar fence boards you got from Home Depot or Lowe's! The planks I find at the store are about half as thick as those and will char faster so I only use them once. I never put the fish down for grill marks - who cares. I do put lemon slices on top - makes for great flavor and it's pretty! I learned that I can leave the skin side dry and when the fish is done, the skin will stick to the plank and the fillet just slides right off.

7 now I'm going to try it that is awesome

Freeze your salmon filets until they're solid, then run the skin side under tap water to soften skin and peel it off, this way you don't destroy the filet, works every time for me.

Look at those servings. Look at those shirts. You guys are rockin'

yes

I love grilling salmon at work we grill our salmon on the grill as well lining them on a angle, so we can mark them with diamond marks.

Love the matching shirts! Grill buddies

It helps the locals to see you coming a mile away.

I would say med..Look at the temp dial at 4:22

Have you tried bristle cone pine planks? If done right the taste is amazing................😊

Is it just assumed that everyone watching knows what temp to be cooking at? I would think that is a pretty critical piece of information. As for the plank, just go to Home Depot and buy some cedar siding and chop it into 1ft lengths. That way you'll be paying less than $1 per plank and they will be thick like the one in this video. You can have the Home Depot guy chop it up for you in the back if you don't have a saw.

Cedar grilled salmon is a gift from God

to not let it stick to the gril u need to heat the grill up very hot. If your gril is not hot enough it wil stick.

Can I get big Mac sauce with that?

Nice shirts.

I cut up cedar dog ears (untreated) from home depot.....4 planks it worked out to for $2.85 per 6ft picket.....tasted like cedar smoked.....mine were not sanded however...

Oh yes. Never had a Weber grill fail!

Aaaaand...he undercooked it. Also, he didn't pre-head the planks prior to putting the fish on

Hi I used a oak plank to do my Salmon on in the BBQ the Salmon was great but my plank of wood bowed ...I soaked it over 2 hrs .... have you any ideas why this happened and can I re-use it? Thanks Theresa

What temp on grill? High, med, or low?

Is there a good temperature to cook these?

auto captions 3:25 wtf?

Hey Guys! You should consider checking our videos out! We cook our planks similar to this but with flavors baked into the wood!

My plank is very thin it seems to catch fire and I don't know if that is supposed to happen. It was only 3$ at Walmart so I'm hoping I didn't fall for the okey doke and go for price over quality. I didn't saturate my plank for very long so maybe that's the reason why it caught fire, not sure.

Olive oil or vegetable oil ?!??!?!??!? Hannah

So I guess preheating the fish side of the plank is not really necassary?

if the salmon is not grilled on its skin , it's better to remove it because u can't eat it (it's not crunchy, not brown but it has alot of fat and brownish meat underneath) and the flavour of the herbs dont penetrate the skin at all.

But .. but ... you never say how hot to get the grill! Hot? Medium? Low? What about a charcoal grill (my favorite!)?

How about we enter the 21 century and use a Thermapen to check for doneness?

when don't fish juices run clear?

You don't need Romy.

My cedar plank caught fire and disintegrated. Where did I go wrong? My cedar plank (bought at a fish store) was thinner than the one in this video. I followed the instructions that came with the package of planks: i.e. soak for at least an hour, then put it on hot grille (I use gas grille) for 3 minutes, flip it over to heat an additional 2 minutes, then put the salmon atop the plank. Well, imagine my shock when I opened the lid of our grille, ready to place my salmon on the plank and found it totally engulfed in flames. I moved it to a cooler part of the grille, let the flames die down as much as I could, then picked it up with tongs - STILL AFIRE- and ran it under the kitchen faucet to douse the fire. The plank literally crumbled into small pieces. We were sooooo disappointed. I want to try again, but I'm not certain what I did wrong. Help, anyone???

Put the fish on the plank right away...not on the grill!

That shyt looked raw in the middle...

if I go down south, do I have to wear a stupid drunk guy shirt?

Ummm fresh fish with parasites

Cooking on propane sucks. The low temp and loss of moisture is appalling. I don't know what's so special about this chef.

If you are going to grill it first why would you not crisp up that skin instead? Who cares about grill marks.

Oh yes. Never had a Weber grill fail!
