This is a fabulous summertime family meal, simple and tasty. I love the smell of grilling on Cedar plank- but don’t forget to first soak it in water, you don’t want your first experience to go up in flames–literally!
You will find Cedar planked salmon on many restaurant menus, yet it’s so easy — not to mention less expensive — to make at home. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare it.
For those that do not cook salmon often, I will let you in on a little secret; salmon is not only delicious, it is rich in omega-3 fats which help boost your brain and cardiovascular health.
And like all of Momma Chef’s creations, this recipe is quick, easy and scrumptious. With only 4 ingredients, you can whip this up in under 5 minutes prep time!

Looks delicious. Can you reuse the cedar after you cook with it?
Great question Diana. These are for one-time use only. I get mine in packs of 5 at Costco, if you don’t have a Costco around you, any grocery store should carry them and they should be around $5 each (or less). Would love to hear how it turned out when you make it! Karen
What a simple, yet delicious recipe! Def have to give it a try!
I’ve been meaning to amp up my omega 3s and my tried and true salmon recipes are getting… old. Ha! I can’t wait to add this to my mix of recipes!
Ooo, I bet that this is delicious! Simple, but with some great flavors!
We eat salmon every week an I’m always looking for new ways to cook it! Thanks for sharing this recipe, it looks yummy!
I haven’t used Parmesan in a recipe yet that wasn’t tasty! Good job 😉
