Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Submerge cedar plank in water for at least 15 minutes so it won't burn on the grill.

  2. Step 2

    Pat salmon dry. Place skin-side down on the soaked plank and season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk together maple syrup and soy sauce. Brush half over the salmon.

  4. Step 4

    Heat grill to medium-high (or preheat broiler). Place plank directly on grill grate or on a baking sheet under the broiler.

  5. Step 5

    Cook 12–14 minutes until salmon flakes easily at the thickest part. Brush with remaining glaze in the last 2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze lemon over the top and serve directly on the plank.
