How to Make Maple Planked Salmon With Spice Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Sprinkle both sides of the salmon fillets generously with salt.
  3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
  4. Preheat your grill to 350-400°F (175-200°C).
  5. Place the soaked 15-inch maple plank (soaked in water for at least 1 hour prior) on the preheated grill. Close the lid.
  6. After 3 minutes, flip the plank and continue heating for another 3 minutes.
  7. Once light smoke appears, carefully place the salmon fillets on the hot plank. Close the grill lid and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended).
  8. Drizzle the cooked salmon with 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
  9. Remove the plank from the grill and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. (Salmon will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat).
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
