Instructions

  1. Step 1: Soak a cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning during grilling.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your gas grill to medium heat (about 350°F). Pat dry 4 salmon fillets with skin on, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly on both sides.
  4. Step 4: Place the soaked cedar plank directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Heat for 3-4 minutes until the plank starts to smoke slightly.
  5. Step 5: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the cedar plank. Brush each fillet generously with the maple-mustard glaze.
  6. Step 6: Top each fillet with several thin slices of lemon and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill evenly over the top.
  7. Step 7: Close the grill lid and cook for 15-18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, basting once more with glaze halfway through cooking.
  8. Step 8: Remove the cedar plank from the grill carefully and serve the salmon warm, garnished with extra dill if desired.
