Cedar Plank Grilled Orange Roughy with Fresh Tarragon
If you read this blog with any regularity, you know that I’m a huge fan of the Outdoor Gourmet company. In fact, I’m quickly running through my supply of 100 percent natural and sustainably produced Cherry, Maple, and Cedar Grilling Planks and will soon have to place another order!
Tonight’s contribution to my shrinking wood plank supply – Plank Grilled Orange Roughy with Fresh Tarragon - was perhaps one of the tastiest efforts in cedar plank grilled fish I’ve attempted. Ever. Yes, folks. It was that good.

If you haven’t tried grilling with wood grilling planks, you should give it a go. Beware the “pre-packaged” fish on a plank packs you can find now in your grocer’s freezer section. It’s just not right. Especially when you can select top quality fish from nearly every corner of the country these days. Also, all planks are not created equal. You want to be sure the wood grilling planks you use are 100 percent natural, produced in the USA. You wouldn’t spritz your grillables with pesticide would you? Well of course you wouldn’t. So don’t grill on something that might have the stuff “built in!” Plus, companies like Outdoor Gourmet not only source 100 percent untreated Western Red Cedar Grilling Planks, they also do it in a sustainable manner. Know what you eat. Eat what you love. Welcome to your weekend.
