Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (2-pound / 900 g) salmon fillet, skin-on (wild-caught if possible)
  • 1 cedar plank (pre-soaked in water for at least 1 hour)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Soak the cedar plank fully in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and chopped fresh dill until smooth and well combined. Adjust honey or lemon to taste.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium heat around 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  4. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the fillet skin-side down on the soaked cedar plank.
  5. Brush the dill mustard glaze evenly over the top of the salmon.
  6. Place the cedar plank directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 20-25 minutes until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Carefully remove the plank from the grill and let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soak the cedar plank for at least 1 hour to prevent burning. Use medium heat to avoid charring the salmon. Let the salmon rest after grilling to keep it juicy. Fresh dill is preferred for best flavor. The glaze can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. For a vegan twist, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based salmon alternative.
