Immerse and soak the plank in salted water for at least 1 hour or overnight; drain.

Place the cedar plank in the center of the prepared grill grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook until cooked through, around 15 to 25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily or until desired degree of doneness. Check the plank occasionally and mist with water if edges start to catch fire.
