Place the salmon, skin-side down, on the plank. Cover the grill and cook until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120˚F to 125˚F for medium doneness, 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Use tongs to remove the plank with the salmon from the grill.
