Description
This oven-baked cedar plank salmon topped with a sweet and nutty brown sugar and sesame glaze can be served at your table in under 45 minutes.
Ingredients
•
3 tablespoons brown sugar
•
2 tablespoons sesame oil
•
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
•
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
•
3 tablespoons water, or as needed
•
1 tablespoon soy sauce
•
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, with skin
•
1 12-inch untreated cedar plank, soaked in water for 2 hours
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2
Combine brown sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and dill in a small bowl. Mix in water, a little at a time, adding just enough to make the mixture liquid. Stir in soy sauce and pepper.
3
Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the soaked cedar plank. Spoon sugar mixture evenly over fillets to fully coat.
4
Place cedar plank directly on a rack in the preheated oven; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
