Salmon on cedar
Salmon on cedar
Bobby Flay was on the local NPR affiliate yesterday. He seemed
clueless about the toxicity of cedar wood. There's no question that
heating cedar releases toxic phenols. He did provide one service
though, by coming out fairly strongly against charcoal lighter fluid.
No cedar planks for me, thank you. I'll stick with aluminum foil.

This comes up now and then. The toxicity of cedar has to do with its
dust and flakes prodced in milling and woodworking and their
contribution to asthma and other pulmonary ailments, usually after
prolonged exposure. Cedar planks used in cooking salmon don't produce
such dust, hence no problem. More importantly, cooking salmon on
cedar enhances flavor, while cooking salmon on, or wrapped in, foil
does nothing for flavor other than possibly to contribute a nasty
metallic note. -aem

Nevertheless, cedar does produce VOCs that are toxic, if mildly so. I
don't get cedar, pine, fir or the like anywhere near my grill.

Bryan, it can be a truism that many culinary items have some form of
toxicity or some potential ill effects, some are just ill-founded
preferences or prejudices. But have you ever had a cedar planked or a
juniper smoked salmon?

It is a cook way to cook fish when on a canoeing trip. You split a cedar log
and soak it, then nail a butterflied boned fish to the split log and set it
near the fire. Just pull the cooked fish off the wood and toss you cooking
medium into the fire and save on cleanup. It's delicious.

That'd certainly be a nice strategy if one substituted hardwood for
the cedar.
Where we canoe, there are cedars that are obviously 400-500+ years
old, but there are also abundant oaks and hickories that are much
better for fires, cooking fires and otherwise.

But hardwood will catch fire. The cedar is nice and wet, so you can cook the fish
before the cedar starts to burn.

Sure, the hardwood is good for fires. The wet cedar does not bun easily, which is
an asset when using it to plank a fish.

No, and as far as juniper goes, there's no way. Those are those
horrible smelling bushes that grew in front on my mom's house. I
can't even stomach the smell of gin.
I have had a burger that was cooked over a fire where someone put pine
on the fire. It wasn't nice.
