Equipment

  • 2 cedar planks

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cedar planks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 6 oz salmon filets
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Soak the cedar planks in water for at least an hour.
  • Preheat your grill to medium high heat.
  • Wipe excess water from the cedar plank and brush one side with olive oil. Place the salmon filets, skin side down, on the oiled side of the plank and brush to top of the filets with olive oil.
  • Add brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt and pepper to a small bowl and stir until combined. Press the spice rub over the top of the salmon filets.
