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 (Optional)
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (Optional)
-
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, with skin

1 12-inch untreated cedar plank, soaked in water for 2 hours
Description
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
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.
-
Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the soaked cedar plank. Spoon sugar mixture evenly over fillets to fully coat.
-
Place cedar plank directly on a rack in the preheated oven; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
