This cedar plank salmon recipe is a simple dish. What makes it simple is that it’s cooked in a slow cooker. You can prepare it in minutes and just allow it to cook by its own. You don’t have to worry because the slow cooker is as independent as you can be. You can eat this with a side dish of vegetables, if you want. My family usually loves eating this with rice because it’s flavorful. But you can also eat this without anything as it has that superior taste.

Quick Tip: Cut a Cedar Plank to fit your crock pot. After you’ve got it cut to fit, use tongs to hold the plank and char it for a couple minutes on both sides over an open flame -you’re looking for that toasty smell and nutty brown color. But you could skip the cedar plank and still make this recipe.
Thanks again to Caramel Potatoes for this amazing recipe.
