A salmon preparation that wins every time! 🎣🔥

Let’s talk about my all-time favorite way to make salmon — cedar plank style! 🌲🔥 It’s a classic for a reason. The smoky aroma, the juicy, tender fish, and that perfect glaze—seriously, once you try it, you’ll be hooked (pun intended).

I recommend pairing this with my Crispy, Sweet and Spicy Brussels Sprouts.

What you’ll need (for 2 servings):

• A couple nice pieces of salmon (skin on or off, your call)
• A cedar plank — soaked in water for at least an hour
• 2 tbsp light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Salt & pepper

Cook the salmon:

1. Get that grill ready! Preheat to about 400°F.
2. Prep the salmon: Take it out of the fridge 30 mins before cooking. Lightly salt the fish, then slather that delicious brown sugar-Dijon glaze over the top. Place the salmon skin-side down on the soaked cedar plank.
3. Grill & cook: Place the cedar plank with salmon on the grill, cook until just under your desired doneness (about 10-15 mins). When it’s slightly less cooked than you like, remove the plank, cover with foil, and let the residual heat finish the job.
