Equipment Cedar plank Note To soak a cedar plank, submerge in a large pan of water with something to weigh it down, like a heavy can or bowl of water. If you don't have a large enough pan, place a clean plastic kitchen garbage bag in your sink, add the plank and cover with water. Weigh the plank down with a heavy can or bowl of water so it is submerged. You can also re-use planks, simply wash with hot, soapy water and let the plank air-dry before storing. To make ahead Refrigerate grilled salmon and vegetables for up to 3 days.
