Ingredients

• 1 piece cedar plank
• 2 pounds salmon fillet
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 0.25 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt (for potatoes)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (for potatoes)
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour. This will prevent it from catching fire on the grill.

Step 2

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillet on the soaked cedar plank, skin side down. Brush a generous amount of the maple glaze over the salmon, reserving some glaze for later.

Step 5

Transfer the cedar plank with the salmon onto the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Brush with additional glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 6

While the salmon cooks, peel and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15–20 minutes.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, whole grain mustard, and heavy cream. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Once the salmon is cooked, carefully remove the cedar plank from the grill. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the cedar-planked salmon alongside the mustard mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 10

Enjoy your flavorful Cedar Planked Salmon with Maple Glaze and Mustard Mashed Potatoes!
