# Instructions:

Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for extra flavor. After soaking, drain and pat the plank dry.

Place the seasoned salmon fillet on the soaked cedar plank, skin-side down.

Grill: Place the plank on the grill and cover with the lid. Grill for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, bake: Place the plank on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

If desired, baste the salmon with extra honey and mustard glaze halfway through cooking. Once done, remove from the plank and garnish with fresh lemon slices and dill before serving.
