Print Recipe

This cedar plank salmon recipe features a smoky flavor enhanced by a sticky-sweet maple-dijon glaze, resulting in tender, flavorful fish perfect for grilling or baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 to 8 ounces (170 to 225 g) each
  • Cedar plank, untreated and soaked in water for at least 1 hour
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Olive oil, extra virgin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh dill, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Soak the cedar plank in cold water for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours to prevent burning and add smoky flavor.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic until smooth.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F).
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Remove cedar plank from water and pat dry. Place salmon skin-side down on the plank and brush the maple-dijon glaze evenly over the top.
  6. Place the cedar plank with salmon directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 15-20 minutes until salmon flakes easily and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. Carefully remove the plank from the grill. Let salmon rest for a few minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh dill and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired before serving.

Notes

Soak cedar plank for at least 1 hour to prevent burning and create steam. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness at 145°F. If glaze caramelizes too quickly, move plank to cooler part of grill or reduce heat. Salmon can be baked on cedar plank at 375°F for 20-25 minutes if no grill is available.
