Lachs auf Zedernholz

Cultural Context

Lachs auf Zedernholz, or Cedar Plank Salmon, has its roots in Native American cooking traditions, where fish was often cooked on cedar planks over open flames. This method imparts a unique smoky flavor and keeps the fish moist. Today, it is a popular dish in American cuisine, especially during summer barbecues, and has gained global popularity for its simplicity and delicious taste.
