I’ve never heard of “cedar-planked salmon” before, but the package at the grocery store convinced me to give it a whirl.
I made the salmon with a bed of bacon-infused rice, which turned out to be the best part of the meal.

Tried cooking salmon for dinner and it was… interesting.

Although the cedar plank was an interesting gimmick, the salmon was not great. Specifically, the cedar-planked salmon was covered in an overly-sweet sauce that made it taste like fast food Chinese takeout rather than quality fish from a grocery store. Now we know!
The side-salad and bacon-rice were delicious. The bacon was from a giant precooked bag that I also found at the local grocery store, and it’s surprisingly good. We tossed grocery store salsa and pre-chopped veggies into the salad, which made it super quick to make.
I love my thrown-together salads, but next time I might skip the packaged fish. 🐟
