Cedar plank salmon in the oven is easy with this recipe. It can even be cooked on the grill. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

  • 3 tablespoons water, or as needed

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (Optional)

  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, with skin

  • 1 12-inch untreated cedar plank, soaked in water for 2 hours

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Combine brown sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and dill in a small bowl. Mix in water, a little at a time, adding just enough to make the mixture liquid. Stir in soy sauce and pepper.

  3. Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the soaked cedar plank. Spoon sugar mixture evenly over fillets to fully coat.

  4. Place cedar plank directly on a rack in the preheated oven; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
