Ingredients
- 1 cedar plank (6 by 14 inches)
- 2 salmon fillets (1 1/2 pounds total)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Soak cedar plank in salted water for 2 hours, then drain. Remove skin from salmon fillet. Remove any remaining bones. Rinse the salmon under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Generously season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay the salmon (on what was skin-side down) on the cedar plank and carefully spread the mustard over the top and sides. Place the brown sugar in a bowl and crumble between your fingers, then sprinkle over the mustard.
- Set grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high. Place the cedar plank in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook until cooked through, around 20 to 30 minutes. The internal temperature should read 135 degrees F. Transfer the salmon and plank to a platter and serve right off the plank.
- Cook’s Note: A direct method to grill the salmon may be used. Soak the cedar plank well. Spread the mustard and brown sugar on the salmon, but do not place the fish on the plank. Set up the grill for direct grilling on medium-high. When ready to cook, place the plank on the hot grate and leave it until there is a smell of smoke, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the plank over and place the fish on top. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 135 degrees F. Check the plank occasionally. If the edges start to catch fire, mist with water, or move the plank to a cooler part of the grill.

Reviews
So easy and soooooooo tasty.
Indirect method was great. Had a person who doesn’t like salmon and he couldn’t stop eating it.
I tried this recipe method with Bobby’s sugar and indirect heat vs my usual method using mustard, salmon rub with love and lemon slices cooked over direct heat. Sorry, but my usual recipe wins hands down. My guests agreed that my usual recipe is far better than this sugary mess.
great tasting salmon – brown sugar burnt onto the board – I took it off the grill after 12 minutes and it was done and delicious.
Very easy and good, though borderline too sweet.
Easy. Delicious. Will be a favorite.
Really tasty and easy to prepare. While I only added a fraction of the recommended brown sugar I was pleasantly surprised by the result – did not taste too sweet.
So fast and delicious- a regular go-to in our house!
Delicious and easy! Full of flavor. Turned out perfect.
This recipe is simple, yet delicious! I’ve made this 3 times now and how been impressed every time. As a note, I stopped buying expensive cedar planks at the store and started ordering them from wildwoodgrillingoutlet.com Their larger planks are somewhere around $1 each.
