Soak your cedar planks in water for 3 hours before planned grilling time, ensuring that the planks are completely submerged
Preheat your grill to 400°F. Ideally you should set up two grilling zones so your salmon planks wont be over flames or direct heat
Stir glaze ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth
Baste a light layer of glaze onto each of the salmon fillets. Then sprinkle kosher salt and ground black pepper on top of the salmon
Place soaked cedar planks on the grill and shut the lid for 2 minutes. Then flip the planks and close the lid again for another 2 minutes. After the 4 total minutes of curing the planks, you should start to smell a smokey smell
Brush a tiny bit of olive oil on the top side of the planks. Place the salmon on top of the planks, skin side down. Top the salmon fillets with lemon slices
Cook salmon for about 20 minutes, with the planks sitting on a section of the grate that is not directly over a flame
Salmon is finished when it has reached an internal temperature of 145°F and easily flakes with a fork
Remove salmon from grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Depending on the size of your planks, both salmon fillets might fit on one plank - and it's totally fine to cook with multiple fillets on one plank if that is your preference!
You can cook with planks over a direct flame if you don't have a choice, but you need to be careful and have a spray bottle of water ready in case the plank catches fire. Read more about two zone grilling here.
