Few things in the BBQ world are as satisfying as perfectly smoked salmon, especially when it’s infused with layers of bold, complementary flavors. This Cedar Plank Teriyaki Glazed Salmon recipe takes that experience to the next level. We’re combining the aromatic, herby kick of Fish Magic by Mis' Rubin’s Seasonings with the deep, umami richness of Saucy Rascals Everyday Black Garlic Teriyaki Sauce — all kissed with fragrant cedar smoke and a whisper of Bear Mountain’s all-natural Smoke ‘Ems. The result? A dish that’s equal parts sweet, savory, and smoky, with an irresistible glossy finish.

Cooking salmon on a cedar plank does more than prevent sticking — it subtly infuses the fish with a gentle woodsy aroma, enhancing the natural richness of the salmon without overpowering it. Paired with the tangy-sweet teriyaki glaze, the flavors are elevated into something truly special. The black garlic in the sauce adds an unexpected complexity that keeps you coming back bite after bite. And because we’re using Bear Mountain Smoke ‘Ems, you get an extra layer of authentic BBQ smokiness without any extra fuss.

This recipe was inspired by the premium ingredients from our Flavor Fireworks BBQ Box, which brings together premium rubs, sauces, and smoking accessories that make it easy to experiment and impress at the grill or smoker. It’s a perfect dish for backyard cookouts, date night dinners, or simply when you want to treat yourself to restaurant-quality BBQ at home. Once you try salmon this way, you may never go back to baking or pan-searing again.

Smoky, sweet, and savory — this cedar plank teriyaki salmon is seasoned with Fish Magic, glazed with Black Garlic Teriyaki, and kissed with fragrant cedar smoke for an unforgettable BBQ experience.

Ingredients

• 2–3 Tbsp Fish Magic by Mis Rubin’s Seasonings
• ½ cup Saucy Rascals Everyday Black Garlic Teriyaki Sauce
• 1 Bear Mountain BBQ Smoke ‘Ems packet
• 2 Grill Masters Club Pre-soaked Cedar Planks (soaked in water for at least 15 minutes)
• 2 Salmon Filets, 6-8 oz (skin on)
• Optional: sliced green onions & sesame seeds for garnish

Directions

1. Soak the cedar planks in water for at least one hour, or up to two hours for deeper aroma. For extra flavor, add a splash of apple juice or white wine to the soaking water.

2. Preheat the smoker to 275°F and place the Bear Mountain Smoke ‘Ems packet directly on the heat source to start generating smoke.

3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season generously on all sides with Fish Magic by Mis Rubin’s Seasonings.

4. Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the soaked cedar planks and transfer them to the smoker grates.

5. Smoke the salmon until the internal temperature reaches 135–140°F, which will take about 35–50 minutes depending on thickness.

6. During the last 5–10 minutes of cooking, brush the salmon generously with Saucy Rascals Everyday Black Garlic Teriyaki Sauce and let the glaze set.

7. Carefully remove the cedar planks from the smoker and serve the salmon hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
