Cedar-Roasted Salmon Recipe - Home Chef (2)

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.
