Directions

  1. 1

    Soak cedar plank 30 minutes (If using a cedar plank but I used butcher paper for this recipe). Score salmon in 1-inch crosshatch pattern down to skin but not through.

  3. 3

    Mix remaining maple syrup with brown sugar for glaze.

  4. 4

    Preheat smoker to 225°F with mild wood. Heat cedar plank on grates 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Place salmon skin-down on plank and smoke 15 minutes before first glaze application.

  6. 6

    Brush with maple glaze every 15 minutes, building layers of caramelized coating.

  7. 7

    Smoke until internal temperature reaches 140°F, about 1-1.5 hours total.

  8. 8

    Rest 5 minutes, then cut along score lines to separate into individual cubes.
