Cooking Tips
Your Guide to Perfect Salmon
At Cedar Bay Grilling Company, we believe preparing premium salmon should be as enjoyable as eating it. Our cooking tips are designed to help you get the best flavor, texture, and results from every product, making it easy to create restaurant-quality meals at home with confidence.
Thaw Before You Cook
For the best flavor and texture, always thaw your salmon completely before cooking. Never cook from frozen.
Do Not Overcook
Salmon is perfectly cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and is still slightly pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
Let It Rest
Allow your salmon to rest for 2 to 3 minutes after cooking. This helps lock in moisture and keeps every bite tender.
Cook It Your Way
Bake it, grill it, or air fry it. Cedar Bay products are designed to make restaurant-quality salmon easy, whichever method you choose.
Pair It with Fresh Sides
Complete your meal with seasonal vegetables, rice, roasted potatoes, fresh salads, or grilled corn for an effortless dinner.
Give Leftovers New Life
Turn leftover salmon into grain bowls, salads, wraps, sandwiches, pasta, or salmon cakes for an easy next-day meal.
Grilling Cedar Planked Salmon?
Place the plank directly on the grill and keep a spray bottle of water nearby to manage any flare-ups. Always discard the plank after one use.

From sweet and smoky to bold and savory, there is a Cedar Bay flavor for every occasion. Mix up your weeknight meals by trying something new.
