A new type of field-induced spin-density wave is shown to occur in a weak-coupling layered model which may be relevant for the highly anisotropic electronic structure of the Bechgaard salts. The modulation vector of this instability is perpendicular to the layers and close to the direction of the magnetic field applied perpendicular to the reciprocal layers. The magnitude of the modulation vector, order parameter and critical temperature have an oscillatory dependence on the magnitude of the magnetic field.
