Alaska Cedar Plank Salmon Recipe Cooked on the Grill

Learn how to make a delicious Alaska salmon recipe that is grilled on a cedar plank for the ultimate quick smoky flavor. It’s so easy!

There is only one way to buy and eat salmon, and that is wild-caught Alaska Salmon. There are a few different species of wild-caught Alaska salmon and those are Coho, Keta, King, Pink and Sockeye salmon. All of these species of salmon are absolutely delicious, but I have to admit that I am a king salmon fan.
