Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillet
- 1 (large, for grilling) cedar plank
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sprig (optional, for garnish) fresh rosemary
Instructions
Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour before grilling to avoid burning.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the soaked cedar plank.
Brush the glaze generously over each fillet, reserving a small amount for basting later.
Carefully place the cedar plank on the preheated grill and close the lid.
Grill the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved glaze over the salmon for extra flavor.
Carefully remove the cedar plank from the grill (use tongs or heat-resistant gloves) and let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired, and serve warm.
