DLM Cedar Planks and Wraps

For a unique experience, try cedar planking salmon on the grill. This is an ancient technique used by the Yup’ik Eskimos for preserving the catch. Soak one of our DLM “branded” planks in water for an hour and grill your salmon on the plank or bake it in the oven. It will stay moist from the damp cedar and will retain a nice smoke flavor from the plank. Also, new are our cedar wrap grilling papers. These paper-thin slices of cedar are going to liven up your outdoor grilling. Just like the planks — soak them in water and then wrap them around your salmon, vegetables, or chicken for a great grilling experience.
