Rich with smoky, wood-infused flavor, this easy oven-roasted salmon delivers steakhouse quality at home with minimal cleanup. A quick rub of sweet brown sugar and zesty Cajun spice caramelizes beautifully over the fish while the soaked cedar plank steams it to tender perfection.
Tips & Storage:
- Plank Prep: Be sure to submerge your cedar plank in water for at least 2 to 3 hours prior to cooking to prevent charring and create maximum steam. Cedar planks can be purchased online or at your local hardware store—just ensure they are untreated wood. Adjust the number of planks based on the size of your oven and the number of fillets.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
