Ingredients

Scale
  • Salmon fillets, skin-on, 6-8 ounces (170-225g) each
  • 1 cedar plank, soaked for at least 1 hour
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Soak the cedar plank in water with a weight on top for at least 1 hour to prevent burning and infuse moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and trim any ragged edges. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F-400°F) or preheat oven broiler and position rack about 6 inches from heat source.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the soaked cedar plank. Brush a generous layer of the honey mustard glaze over the top of each fillet, reserving some glaze for serving.
  6. Place the cedar plank on the grill grates or oven tray. Close grill lid or oven door and cook for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and internal temperature reaches 125°F-130°F.
  7. Remove the plank carefully using tongs or oven mitts. Let salmon rest for 3-5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  8. Drizzle remaining glaze on top and sprinkle extra fresh dill for garnish before serving.

Notes

Pre-soaking the cedar plank is essential to prevent burning. Use skin-on salmon for better texture. Avoid over-glazing to prevent flare-ups. Monitor cooking temperature closely and use a thermometer for perfect doneness. If plank chars too much, move to indirect heat or reduce broiler temperature.
