Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 1 piece (untreated, about 12 inches long) Cedar plank
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours. This step prevents the plank from burning on the grill.
In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and set them aside on a plate.
Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill grate and close the lid for about 5 minutes. This will start to warm the plank and release its smoky aroma.
Open the grill and add the salmon fillets, skin side down, onto the preheated cedar plank.
Using a basting brush, generously coat each salmon fillet with the prepared maple glaze.
Close the grill lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Brush the fillets with more glaze during the grilling process for extra flavor.
Carefully transfer the cedar plank with the salmon onto a heatproof surface. Let the salmon rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon warm, garnished with additional lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
