Ingredients
- 1 cedar plank, soaked in water for at least an hour
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Spice Mix
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Place cedar plank in a sheet pan with water and place a heavy object on top of the board so it does not float. Soak for 1 hour.
- In a small bowl combine brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, basil, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon.
- Evenly coat the surface of the salmon with about half of the seasoning, 5 to 6 teaspoons. Reserve any additional spice mix for later use or extra spice after cooking the salmon.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat, 400 to 450ºF (204 to 232ºC).
- Remove the soaked plank from the water and lightly dry with a towel.
- Place the plank on the grill grate and close the lid. When the plank begins to smoke and lightly char, use tongs to remove it from the grill, 7 to 10 minutes. Close the lid to allow the grill to heat.
- Put the seasoned salmon skin side down on the plank charred side up.
- Cook the salmon with the lid closed until it's just opaque in the center and begins to brown slightly around the edges, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the plank with the salmon to a heatproof surface.
- Serve cedar plank salmon with lemon wedges.
