Instructions
- 1
Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours before cooking.
- 2
Whisk the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, salt, and pepper together to make a glaze.
- 3
Place the salmon skin-side down on the soaked plank. Brush it generously with the glaze.
- 4
Preheat your grill to medium. Place the plank directly onto the grill grate.
- 5
Close the lid and cook for 20-25 minutes until the salmon flakes easily.
- 6
Brush the fish with the remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
- 7
Carry the plank straight to the table to serve.
Chef's tips
Keep a spray bottle filled with water nearby in case the edges of the plank catch fire. Pick a thick plank so it does not burn through while cooking.
Storage
Store leftover salmon refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Reheating
Warm gently covered in a 300°F oven.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using a dry, unsoaked plank that easily catches fire on the grill.
- •Opening the grill lid too often, which lets heat and smoke escape.
