Step-by-Step Instructions for Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon

Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Prepare the marinade by whisking together all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
Marinate the salmon fillets in the prepared marinade for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Remove the cedar plank from the water, pat it dry, and place the salmon skin-side down on the plank.
Grill the salmon on the cedar plank for about 10-15 minutes until it flakes easily.
Let the salmon rest for a few minutes, then serve it garnished with lemon and fresh dill.
