How to Make Deep Fork Cedar Plank Salmon
- Soak cedar plank in water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat grill to high heat. Place cedar plank on the hot grill for 2-3 minutes, until slightly dry. Reduce grill heat to low.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed. For a more intense caramelization, add 1-2 extra tablespoons of brown sugar.
- Rinse the salmon fillet (about 1.5 lbs) and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
- Generously coat the top of the salmon with the prepared sauce.
- Place the salmon fillet on the prepared cedar plank. Close the grill hood and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on the cedar plank to ensure it doesn't catch fire. If necessary, slightly reduce heat or move it to a cooler part of the grill.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the grill and cedar plank. Serve immediately and enjoy!
