Thanks, guys. It is pretty darn good, if I might be so bold as to say so.

I just wait for questions like this.... I don't think I've ever had salmon off my Egg that I didn't like.

Wayne, doesn't putting parchment between the cedar and the fish pretty much negate the use of the plank??

Glad you wait for occasions like this, those are some great examples of grilled salmon.

My recommendation for grilled asparagus is Todd's Dirt and I concur about Ragin River for the salmon

90% of all the fish I cook has the skin on, and that shot with the parchment was a skinless fillet. I suppose it's possible for flavor from a fragrant plank (like cedar) to make it into the fish, but I mostly use alder planks for fish. So, skin-on or skinless, the fish does produce liquids at the plank as it cooks, and when cooking skin-on fillets the skin most likely acts as a barrier of sorts.

It's hard to see, but when a plank begins to char on the bottom, the smoke kind of rolls around the edges and bathes the fish in an envelope of smoke. That's where I think the most flavor comes from. The other thing I like about plank cooking is the moisture retention since the plank is a heat shield of sorts.
