1. Soak the Plank
You’ll need to soak the plank before using it to help keep the fish moist. A soaked plank also produces maximum smoke and is less likely to burn. Submerge it in water for at least 1 hour. Use the soaked plank right away since the wood will start to dry out.
2. Grill the Plank
Preheat the grill, and place the plank on the grill rack. Grill the plank for 3 minutes or until lightly charred.

3. Place Fish on Charred Side of the Plank
Carefully turn the plank over using long-handled tongs. Food that touches the wood takes on more flavor, so arrange the fish on the plank in a single layer on the charred side.
