WOW! Ry that looks amazing, REALLY amazing. I’ve never thought of smoking mashed potatoes, but those looked great. Thank You for sharing this, I can’t wait to cook it. (John From California)

[@CookingWithRy]

Yeah those potatoes were fantastic. It's amazing what a little cedar aroma will do :)

[@GiantSFaithfuL]

@@CookingWithRy so I did this tonight. Tagged you on instagram. I'm @slowcalbbq. Used this miso/sriracha sauce with the maple syrup. Amazing. Thanks for the inspiration!! Give me a follow on there if you will!!!! Thanks!!!

[@foodnetworks]

This channel should have over 1 million subscribers. Unbelievably delicious 😋..

[@vaughnprecision]

WOW that looks sooooo good....! Made salmon like that but never the potatoes, I'll be trying that soon! Thanks for all the work you do!

[@victoriabryce1683]

I’m trying this recipe tonight! I am so excited!!

[@TheColonelJJ]

I never thought about doing the meal presentation on the plank! This will wow my next visitors! 😋😋😋😋😋😋

[@ShawnTheRealtor]

Just tried this with my family on my new Weber Performer and it was a huge hit! New to charcoal grilling but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!

[@tommeyer8604]

Tried this recipe and cooking method two years ago, and this is the only salmon recipe we have used since. It’s really good and easy to follow. Sometimes, we just do the potatoes. Sweet potatoes also work well.

[@tyronejackson1150]

Thanks Ry another great cook. I cant wait to try this one.

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

This sounds amazing.

[@fraserchis]

Tried this today. It was outstanding!! Keep up the sharing Ry!

[@morrish5476]

I’ve done a lot of cedar plank salmon but never mashed potatoes also looks awesome

[@chrisrandel2668]

How can anyone give you a thumbs down on the best salmon you ever made? Looks great and so simple to make. Unfortunately my wife is not a salmon fan, but I’ll try this recipe.

[@shyamlynn243]

This was one of the best meals I've prepared, the herbed butter on the mashed potatos was over the top delicious. Thanks for the video!!

[@bdryan33]

I have been wanting to do this very meal for my wife and I. This sold it for me. I love your channel. You really inspire me to cook!

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks so much! You can do this one easily :)

[@mikeoreilly4020]

Another great video. I've dry-brined salmon for years for smoking, but never done it when I cook it just for dinner. Looks delicious and I think leaving the dried brine on it for flavor is a good idea, especially with the sugar/salt ratio you used.

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

Beautiful looking cedar plank salmon Ry! I really like that glaze after curing them overnight. Nice idea to put the potatoes on the plank not only for presentation but some cedar flavor. Truly a fantastic cook. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks so much, my friend :)

[@artdeleon2833]

Wow Ry!! Thank his was one of the most amazing recipes I’ve ever tasted. You were on point with everything. The Smokey flavor from the cedar plank was perfect. We paired it up with rice pilaf and honey glazed baby carrots. Thank you for all your videos. So glad I made it. It was my first salmon on my ocean blue master touch (I noticed you had the same one.) AMAZING.

[@4MzBBQandGRILL]

Great video as always sir! I have never tried salmon but after watching this I think I will have to give it a try. Love the idea of doing the potatoes on the cedar plank with the salmon. Awesome job!!!

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks!

[@alisaskitchen8728]

I love salmon! I am going to have to try this!

[@dougnearpass5413]

Tried this recipe for 4th of July cookout. WINNER!! Would definitely used wood chips next time to give the potatoes more flavor, but the recipe is great. THIS is what you cook, when company is coming for dinner! Prepare it the night before, and cook it up an hour before you eat.

[@ColinMakesAllTheThings]

So brilliant, never would have thought to smoke the tears along with the salmon. Soo awesome.

[@strangeostrichgamer158]

love to watch your videos while i eat food that will never compare to what your cooking lol love your videos man

just to clarify i'm eating a salad with honey chipotle dressing black beans, corn, black pepper, chicken, cheese and avocado.

Whoa! I have GOT to try this. Running to Home Depot in the morning for some cedar. 🤣 So glad you did a fish video, Ry.

Bro my mouth is literally watering right now. Using a cedar plank is the only way I grill fish. Just something about that aroma that really make a difference. Going to have to try the brine next time.

I've been waiting for this cook from you for awhile. I've got a chuck roast smoked with pecan for 2 hours, and just transferred to a dutch oven with some coals in the fire pit. Salmon is my next excursion with your recipe! Good stuff!

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks! I need to make those potatoes again :)

[@Mustangman03gt]

The timing of this video couldn't be more perfect. I picked up some salmon today (well, yesterday technically since it's 1am) that I'm planning on grilling today and have a cedar plank to use. On the weber kettle of course :) One thing I noticed you didn't mention though that I think might be helpful - how were your vents (both exhuast and intake) set, and what temp was the grill running (either shown via the built in thermometer or an external one). Love your videos, thanks!

[@CookingWithRy]

They were fully open. I didn’t worry about temp because it’s such a short cook 😊

[@lydiavalentin8668]

Yummmy!!

[@emmgeevideo]

I think salmon only needs a hint of sweetness, so I skipped the sweet rub. The glaze is perfect. I tried sweet potatoes instead of "regular" potatoes. A funny thing happened - the recipe I used was rather meh but after the smoking process it was an amazing transformation. I would have never thought of cooking mashed potatoes on a cedar plank. It's a winning idea.

[@Rob24913]

Hey Ry, very good video,!

[@thisoldbelair]

That looks amazing. I like salmon but I’ve never made it. Might be one of my next cooks. Where do you like to get your salmon?

[@CookingWithRy]

I have good luck at our local Whole Foods 😊

[@Horsein]

I get our fresh sockeye salmon right out of the Kenai river in Alaska. Just brought home 31 fish!

[@jkentsan]

Really looked good, Ry. Curious if any smoke would have had an effect, also can you use the planks more than once? I've never tried cooking with them.

[@CookingWithRy]

I only use them once, and the cooking time is so short that I'm not sure another smoke source would do much :)

[@Jamusrox]

Just came across this video and I am so excited to try it. One question if anyone can answer, if I have a propane bbq, what temp would you suggest for the bbq as I am relatively new to trying the cedar plank method for salmon?

[@CookingWithRy]

I set my burners on about medium when I do this on gas.

[@Jamusrox]

@@CookingWithRy cool thanks for the advice.

[@chrisbadolato9030]

Definitely going to try this out. Looks really good!! Where did you have the vent holes on the grill set at? Am just curious as to how hot I need my Weber at. Or does it not really matter?

[@CookingWithRy]

For this, just hot :)

[@chrisbadolato9030]

Excellent!! Thank you!! By the way….keep up the great work on these videos! I learned a lot from your other videos since I recently started learning how to do backyard barbecue. My ribs, chuck roasts, and briskets have turned out amazing!!

[@CookingWithRy]

@@chrisbadolato9030 I love hearing that. Thanks!

[@RobertHeaney]

Looks amazing! I'm going to try this one tomorrow (prep tonight). Did you just go wide open on both vents?

[@CookingWithRy]

Yes. Got that fire hot :)

[@RobertHeaney]

@@CookingWithRy I just had to report back on this. I made this last night for the family (8 of us) and everyone LOVED it. The salmon was amazing and the mashed potatoes disappeared :) Thanks Ry.

[@CookingWithRy]

@@RobertHeaney That's great! So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@EdHourigan]

Wow! Just Wow. Can't wait to try this. What temp did you run the Weber at? 300?

[@CookingWithRy]

It’s such a short cook I just left both vents full open with 3/4 of a chimney of charcoal and didn’t worry about temp :)

[@fishngolfer2792]

Oh my goodness this dish looks awesome! Can I ask what kind of salmon did you use and was it wild or farmed raised?

[@CookingWithRy]

I believe this was wild.

[@hillbillybbq]

Hey buddy awesome ! I'm gonna try it. Can I ask a stupid question? Never used cedar, can you reuse the plank a few times, or do you just use it once? Thanks for the great vedeo!

[@CookingWithRy]

I prefer to only use once 😊

[@johnmiddleton726]

What was the kettle temp for the salmon cook? Thanks. Really enjoy your videos.

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks! For cooking on the plank I don't look at the kettle temp since it's direct grilled. Pretty hot, I guess :)

[@JAYTUA]

How are your coals set up? Looks good by the way!

[@CookingWithRy]

I just dumped a bunch of lit coals and let them get a good burn going 😊

[@lightman500]

Hey Ry.... my new Weber kettle arrived and it's all assembled with the first cook out of the way. I now want to do the cedar plank salmon exactly to your recipe. How did you set the vents on your Weber kettle? Update: Nevermind... I saw on one of your comments you said you used a hot grill, vents wide open, and cooked the Planks on direct heat. You also mentioned in the video that you use 3/4 of a big chimney. I think I'm ready to go for tonight... The salmon is marinating, the glaze is made and the mashed potatoes are about to be mashed!

[@CookingWithRy]

Hope it turns out great for you 👍

[@lightman500]

@@CookingWithRy The salmon and potatoes were out if this world! The cook was exactly the same as yours... 10 minutes with the lid on, then check the temperature. They almost matched your temps exactly, then five more minutes after the glaze and off they came at 135 to 140F. We purchased small cedar planks she found at Sprouts so we could only fit the salmon on them. I got creative and put the mashed potatoes in foil Bowls on the indirect side with the compound butter. They came out great... With a little bit of singeing on the edges of the potato with a great wonderful flavor. Thanks again for the recipe, the video tutorial, and the comments. Kudos my friend ...kudos!

[@drillsgtlangdon]

The recipe sounds amazing! However, Im wondering if you could still taste the fish through all of the marinade and additional sugars & spice etc

[@CookingWithRy]

Absolutely. Maybe a more delicate fish could get lost in that but salmon is a bit bolder 😊

[@sdagley52]

Great video Ry. I plan on doing this this weekend. I have a question. One of my guests does not like salmon:-( what are your thoughts on doing a haddock the same way. Or should I spice it differently?

[@CookingWithRy]

I'd maybe add tiny bit more pepper since haddock, to me, is a milder flavor than salmon :)

[@sdagley52]

Ry, I did your salmon tonight and the one piece of haddock. The one who had the haddock tried a piece of the salmon and loved it. We made him a believer of smoked salmon. He had only ever had canned salmon. :-p Thanks for you videos.
