Kroger Cedar Plank Salmon
What it is
This is a package of raw salmon fillets, pre-portioned and ready for cooking. The salmon is sourced and prepared for convenience. It is typically found in the seafood section of the grocery store. Each package contains a specific weight of salmon, making meal planning easier. The fillets are usually skin-on, which helps them retain moisture during cooking.
How people cook with it
Cedar plank salmon is a popular dish for grilling or baking. It imparts a distinct smoky flavor to the fish.

- Baking salmon
- Smoked fish dishes
- Quick weeknight meals
To prepare, soak the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent it from burning. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season them as desired with salt, pepper, herbs, or spices. Place the seasoned salmon directly onto the soaked cedar plank. Then, place the plank on a preheated grill or in an oven. Cook until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The plank itself is not meant to be eaten.
How it differs from similar foods
Using a cedar plank infuses the salmon with a subtle, smoky, and woody aroma that is different from pan-searing or baking directly on a metal pan. The plank also helps to keep the fish moist and prevents it from sticking.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an easy and flavorful way to prepare salmon will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate the unopened package in the coldest part of your refrigerator. Once opened, consume the salmon within one to two days. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to maintain freshness.
