Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 (6-oz) salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 1 cedar grilling plank
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more for seasoning

Method
 

  1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour. Whisk together maple syrup, Dijon, soy sauce, garlic, lemon zest and juice, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper.
  2. Heat grill to medium-high (400°F). Pat salmon dry, season with salt and pepper, and let rest 10 minutes.
  3. Place soaked plank on grill, close lid, and heat until smoking, about 3 minutes. Arrange salmon skin-side down on the plank, close lid, and grill 8 minutes.
  4. Brush the glaze over the salmon, close lid, and grill until fish flakes and reaches 135°F, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  5. Remove plank from grill, slide a spatula between skin and flesh to lift fillets onto a platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze on top and serve.

Notes

The soaking time for the plank is not included in the prep time; plan accordingly. If you’re cooking indoors, the same recipe works in a 400°F oven on a soaked plank placed on a rimmed baking sheet; bake 12 to 15 minutes total, glazing the last 3.
