How to Make Cedar Planked Salmon With Sweet Mustard Vinaigrette

  1. At least 4 hours before cooking, submerge the cedar plank in a container of water. Place a heavy object on top to ensure it's fully submerged.
  2. **Vinaigrette:** In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced shallot.
  3. Gradually whisk in the honey, then the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. **Salmon:** Remove the skin and any bones from the salmon fillet. Rinse under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  5. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  6. Place the salmon fillet on the soaked cedar plank. Spread the prepared mustard evenly over the top and sides of the salmon.
  7. Crumble the light brown sugar between your fingers and sprinkle it evenly over the mustard.
  8. Prepare your grill for indirect grilling. Heat to medium-high.
  9. Carefully place the cedar plank with the salmon in the center of the hot grill grate, away from the direct heat.
  10. Cover the grill and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 135°F (57°C).
  11. Remove the cedar plank from the grill and carefully transfer the cooked salmon to serving plates or a platter.
  12. Spoon a few tablespoons of the sweet mustard vinaigrette over each salmon fillet.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
