Ingredients
- 1 (6-ounce) salmon fillet, preferably with skin on
- Coarse salt
- Pepper
- Brown sugar
- Special equipment: 1 piece of cedar fence board cut to the length to fit inside your grill
Directions
Preheat the grill or barbecue to high heat. Meanwhile, soak the cedar plank in cool water for about 30 minutes.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper, and then spread a little brown sugar evenly over the top.
When the grill is hot, place the salmon, skin side down, on the wet cedar plank and place it on the grill. Close the lid and grill for 15 minutes or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Remove and serve directly from the burnt cedar board.

My first foray into plank grilling. Grilled up 1.25 pound salmon filet so took about 35 minutes (and plank was 'toast' but salmon was delicious. Meat just fell off skin. Served on the plank (had 2 4 inch by 5 inch planks side-by-side. About 1/2 way through grilling, cut filit in half along the plank line to grill up 2 pieces.
Brown sugar was a very nice touch.

I had the best salmon ever to use this recipe on. I liked that salmon taste came through not the favors added. My husband likes things sweet. He loves a heavy toppings on salmon not me. The salmon was great can't wait to cook for my friend. Thank you a great recipe.

Easy to season (lacking enough brown sugar in the house didn't allow any caramelizing or imparting of the hints of sweetness I was hoping for. Made for a nice, quick, safe entry into plank cooking. Cooked for about 14 minutes in the Weber. Very moist and just a wisp of smokiness. Trying to figure out ways to increase said smokiness. Longer cook time? Shorter soak? (I did an hour soaking vs. 30 minutes.
