Instructions

  • Preheat your grill or smoker to 375°F with indirect heat. Make sure cedar plank is soaking.
  • In a bowl, whisk harissa, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, garlic, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Place salmon skin-side down on soaked cedar plank.
  • Brush harissa mixture over salmon, coating top and sides evenly.
  • Place cedar plank with salmon on grill away from direct heat. Cover and cook for 25–30 minutes.
  • Carefully remove plank, let salmon rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use indirect heat to avoid burning the cedar plank. Soak plank at least 1 hour. Rest the salmon before slicing so juices stay in!
