Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the plank(s) with water to remove any dust. Fill a large container with water. Submerge the plank in the water. Add the white wine. Soak the cedar planks for two hours before grilling.

Heat the grill to about 350F or medium heat.

Stir together the mustard, honey, rosemary, dill, zest, sesame seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Spread the mixture on the flesh side of the salmon and let the salmon stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Place the salmon on the plank, skin side down, and grill, covered with lid, until the salmon is just cooked through and the edges are browned (13 to 15 minutes). Let the salmon stand on the plank 5 minutes before serving.
