Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Optional)
• 3 tablespoons water, or as needed
• 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, with skin
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (Optional)
• 1 (12 inch) untreated cedar plank, soaked in water for 2 hours

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine brown sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and dill in a small bowl. Mix in a little water at a time, adding just enough to make the mixture liquid. Stir in soy sauce and season with pepper.

Step 3

Place salmon fillets on the soaked plank, skin-side down. Spoon the brown sugar mixture evenly over the fillets so they are fully coated.

Step 4

Place plank and salmon on a rack in the preheated oven and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
