Ingredients

• 1 Whole untreated cedar plank
• 2.5 Pounds (lb) salmon fillet, boneless
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt, seasoned
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) pepper, ground
• 0.25 Cups maple syrup, pure
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) lime juice, fresh
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) lime zest, zested
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) chives, minced
• 6 Whole lemon wedges

Steps

1. Prepare the Cedar Plank: Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 2 hours to prevent it from burning on the grill.
2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill to preheat.
3. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with coarse salt and black pepper.
4. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, melted butter, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
5. Grill the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillet skin-side down on the preheated cedar plank. Close the grill lid and let the salmon cook for about 5 minutes.
6. Apply the Glaze: Open the grill and generously baste the salmon with the prepared glaze. Close the lid and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
