Dijon Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe Easy Cedar Plank Baked Dinner

  • Author: Lena
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A quick and easy salmon recipe featuring a sweet and tangy Dijon maple glaze baked on a cedar plank for a smoky, flavorful finish. Perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), fresh or thawed
  • 1 pre-soaked cedar plank (about 12x7 inches)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley or dill (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare a grill to medium heat.
  2. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning and encourage smoky aroma.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, pure maple syrup, olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down evenly spaced on the soaked cedar plank.
  6. Brush the salmon generously with the Dijon maple glaze using a pastry brush or spoon.
  7. Lightly season the salmon with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Place the cedar plank on the middle rack of the oven or directly on the grill grates.
  9. Bake or grill for 18-22 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is caramelized but not burnt.
  10. Check for doneness; the internal temperature should read 125-130°F (52-54°C) for medium.
  11. Let the salmon rest on the plank for 5 minutes before serving.
  12. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or dill if desired.

Notes

Soak the cedar plank for at least 1 hour to prevent burning and enhance smoky flavor. If glaze browns too fast, tent loosely with foil during the last 5 minutes. Pat salmon dry for crispy skin. Reserve extra glaze to brush halfway through cooking for layered flavor. Thicker fillets may need extra cooking time. Leftovers keep well for 2 days; reheat gently in a low oven to maintain moisture.
