• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

• 6 lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 untreated cedar plank
• 2 ½ pounds boneless salmon fillet

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Soak the cedar plank in water for 2 hours.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Place the cedar plank across the grate of the grill as it preheats.

Step 3

Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, and place onto the hot cedar plank skin-side down. Close the lid on the grill, and whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, butter, lime juice, and lime zest.
