How does being cooked on a cedar plank enhance or improve fish and seafood?

Cooking with wood is a very old technique. Cooking meat on top of a plank is a more modern way of imparting a smoky undertone of flavor to meats (or other things such as cheese). The heat begins to warm up the wood, ultimately causing it to smoke. Similar to 'smoking' meats, this smoke begins to cook the outside of the meat and form what we call the smoke ring, which is a very distinctly flavored layer around the meat (think crust). Cooking on a plank also means the texture of the meat will be more delicate, as it is not directly in contact with the grill, it will not become crispy or charred.
Good luck! Just for a tip... soak the wood in some water before cooking with it. This will prevent the wood from burning up and inhibit the smoking.

The cedar has a unique soft quality to flavor your meal.

And yes, please soak the plank in water first!
My own favorite way to cook all fish is in the microwave! The heat there is as even as it gets, and you don't have to dry out the outside of the fish in order to get the inside cooked.
