Wild-caught Pacific Northwest king or sockeye salmon roasted on a soaked cedar plank that perfumes the fish with smoke as it cooks, served with herb butter and seasonal Oregon vegetables.
Cedar-plank salmon is an ancient cooking technique of the Pacific Northwest Coast Salish nations, who would skewer salmon on cedar stakes around an open fire so the smoke would permeate the fish as it cooked. European settlers adapted the format in the late 19th century, and Portland fine-dining rooms standardised the modern oven-plank version through the late 20th century. Wild Pacific salmon from the Columbia and Willamette runs is the structural ingredient; the dish is on virtually every Portland fine-dining menu, including Le Pigeon, Departure and Andina.
