Other tools:
Cedar plank for smoking and cooking on
Soak your cedar plank for at least an hour. I had ours in the sink for about 5 hours but that’s only because I forgot it there. As you prep everything else, combine your sesame seeds and sesame oil into a small metal bowl and place it aside. Keeping it soaking for a while will produce and extraordinary taste once you serve the mixture on your fish.
