Pre‑heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan) and place the soaked cedar plank on a baking tray.

Step 2 of 5
Pat the salmon dry, rub each fillet with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3 of 5
Combine maple syrup, Dijon, soy sauce and half the dill in a bowl; brush the mixture over the flesh side of the salmon.

Arrange the fillets skin‑side down on the plank, brush with remaining glaze and bake for 12‑15 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily and the glaze is caramelised; the plank will emit a gentle smoky aroma.

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining fresh dill and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes from the kitchen
If cedar planks are unavailable, use a metal baking sheet lined with parchment; the smoky note will be milder but the glaze remains the same. Leftovers keep 2 days refrigerated, reheated gently to avoid drying out.
