Main Ingredients

Maple-Dijon Glaze

Crispy Brussels Sprouts

Method

Preparation of Cedar Plank

  1. 1

    Soak the Cedar Plank

    Soak the red cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour prior to cooking to prevent it from catching fire on the grill.

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 2

    Make the Maple-Dijon Glaze

    In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 3

    Prepare the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillet on the soaked cedar plank, skin side down. Brush the maple-Dijon glaze generously over the salmon.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts

  1. 4

    Roast Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.

Whipped Potatoes

  1. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes.

  2. 6

    Whip the Potatoes

    Add the drained potatoes back to the pot. Mix in butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill. Use a potato masher or electric mixer to whip until smooth and creamy.

Grilling the Salmon

  1. 7

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the cedar plank with the salmon on the grill grates. Cover and grill for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
