Instructions
- 1
Prepare Cedar Planks
Soak cedar planks in water for at least 2 hours before grilling. This prevents burning and creates aromatic steam for flavor.
- 2
Make Maple Glaze
Whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Reserve half for basting during cooking.
- 3
Season Salmon
Pat salmon fillets dry and brush with half the maple glaze. Combine dill, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Rub herb mixture evenly over salmon.

Preheat Grill
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Place soaked cedar planks on grill grates and heat for 3-4 minutes until they begin to smoke lightly.

Grill Salmon
Place seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down on the heated cedar planks. Close grill lid and cook for 12-15 minutes without flipping.
- 6
Baste and Finish
Brush salmon with reserved maple glaze during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Cook until internal temperature reaches 145°F and fish flakes easily.
- 7
Rest and Serve
Remove cedar planks with salmon from grill and let rest 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately on the planks with lemon wedges and your favorite grilled vegetables.
Chef's Tips
Ensure cedar planks are food-safe and untreated. If planks catch fire, spray with water. For extra flavor, add wood chips to your grill for additional smokiness.
