🌍 Origin & History
Salmon grilling draws from Pacific Northwest Native American traditions of smoking fish over alderwood — a practice thousands of years old. The alder gives salmon a sweet, mild smokiness that complements the rich fat content of the fish without overwhelming it. Modern plank grilling is a direct descendant of this technique. Salmon's natural oils mean it needs no sugar to be spectacular on the grill.
