Plank grilling is one of my favourite ways to cook fish. Steelhead trout grilled on a plank of cedar is probably my most requested dish whenever I am grilling for family. One of the best aspects of grilling on a plank of wood is that it is so easy. In many ways it is close to baking the fish.
Just place it on the plank and rest the plank on the grill and close the lid. Keep your eye on the plank to make sure it doesn’t catch fire. This is why you soak the wood ahead. Other than that, plank grilling is a breeze. No fear of the fish breaking apart as you flip it on the grill.
