Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs salmon fillets (1 1/2 - 2 pounds works fine)
olive oil
kosher salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, snipped

Steps:

  • Put a weight atop the cedar plank and soak in water for a minimum of one hour, preferably longer.
  • Brush the flesh side of the salmon fillet with olive oil; season with Kosher salt and fresh black pepper. Combine Dijon mustard and herbs; brush over salmon.
  • Place the soaked plank on grill grate over medium-high heat; cover and heat for 3 minutes. Turn plank over with tongs and heat until light smoke develops, about 3 minutes more.
  • Place salmon skin-side down on heated plank over medium-high heat; cover and grill until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 140 F, 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer salmon to serving plate. With tongs carefully remove hot plank from grill to a safe, heat-resistant cooling place. Let salmon rest 5 minutes before serving.
