The technique of roasting salmon mounted on cedar planks was used for thousands of years by Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest, where both salmon and cedar were abundantly available. The essence of the wood infuses into the salmon while keeping the fish tender. We've adapted this distinctly American technique for the home kitchen so you can enjoy moist, delicate salmon alongside delicious potatoes and green beans.

Prepare the Cedar Sheets
Place cedar sheets in a shallow bowl or pan. Add enough water to cover and soak 10 minutes.
While sheets soak, cut potatoes into 1/4" slices.Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/2" slices.Set aside two thyme sprigs. Stem and coarsely chop remaining thyme.Cut twine into four equal pieces.Trim ends off green beans.Pat salmon fillets dry, and season flesh side with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.Roast the Potatoes
Place potatoes and onions on prepared baking sheet. Toss with stemmed thyme, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
Spread into a single layer. Roast 13 minutes.Remove from oven.Vegetables will finish cooking in a later step.While vegetables roast, sear salmon.Sear the Salmon
Lay two parallel pieces of twine 3" apart on a clean work surface. Place a cedar sheet on top of twine.
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and salmon, skin side up, to hot pan. Sear undisturbed until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.Transfer a salmon fillet, skin side down, to middle of cedar sheet. Place a remaining thyme sprig on salmon. Enclose cedar snugly around salmon and secure with twine. Don't worry if cedar sheets break!
