Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Submerge cedar plank in water for 15 minutes while the grill heats to medium-high.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk maple syrup, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Pat salmon skin-dry. Lay both fillets skin-side down on the soaked plank.

  4. Step 4

    Brush salmon generously with the glaze, then top with lemon slices and thyme sprigs.

  5. Step 5

    Set plank on the grill grate. Cover and cook 12–15 minutes until salmon flakes easily at the thickest part.

  6. Step 6

    Serve straight from the plank, drizzling any pan juices over top.
