Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth to make the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with skin on and brush the top side generously with the maple mustard glaze.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium heat, around 350°F. Place each soaked cedar plank directly on the grill grates and close the lid, heating for 3 minutes until you begin to smell the wood smoke.
  4. Step 4: Place each salmon fillet, glazed side up, on a cedar plank and close the grill lid. Cook for 15-18 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F internally.
  5. Step 5: Remove planks from grill carefully and let salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing smoky, sweet glaze flavors to settle.
