Ingredients

• 1 piece cedar plank
• 4 pieces salmon fillet
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 piece lemon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours) to prevent it from burning on the grill.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth to form the marinade.

Step 3

3. Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fillets, coating them evenly. Allow the salmon to marinate for 15-20 minutes while the cedar plank soaks.

Step 4

4. Preheat the grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F to 400°F). Place the soaked cedar plank onto the grill grates and heat it for about 3 minutes until it starts to lightly crackle and smoke.

Step 5

5. Carefully place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the heated cedar plank. Close the grill lid.

Step 6

6. Grill the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking for the best texture.

Step 7

7. Slice the lemon in half and squeeze fresh juice over the grilled salmon fillets before serving.

Step 8

8. Remove the cedar plank from the grill using tongs and place it on a heat-safe surface. Serve the salmon directly from the plank for a rustic presentation.
