Description
Smoky, tender Cedar Planked Salmon grilled to perfection on a soaked wood plank, infused with lemon, garlic, and mustard for bold flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large salmon fillets (about 1.5 pounds total)
- 1 cedar plank, soaked for 1 hour
- 1 lemon, sliced and juiced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high (around 400°F). Place soaked cedar plank on grill for 5 minutes to heat.
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make marinade.
- Flip plank, place salmon skin-side down on heated side.
- Brush salmon with marinade, top with lemon slices and green onions.
- Close grill lid and cook 15–20 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and is opaque.
- Remove from grill, rest for 5 minutes, then serve on the plank with extra lemon.
Notes
- Soak plank well to prevent burning.
- Use a spray bottle to manage flare-ups.
- Don’t overcook — salmon should be just done and flaky.
- Wild-caught salmon adds richer flavor.
