Using tongs or a heat-proof grill glove, place your soaked plank on the grill for 2 minutes, then turn the board over and grill for another 2 minutes. Repeat, so that you will have grilled each side for a total of 4 minutes. You will hear the wood snap. The snapping sounds will continue throughout the grilling process. Leave the plank on the grill while you season your fish. |

After a few minutes you should begin to see smoke come out the sides of the grill. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. If the fillets are less than 1 inch thick, begin checking for doneness after 12 minutes. You know it is ready when the flesh begins to flake and separate, and when a metal skewer inserted into the flesh feels warm to the touch when removed. |
