Cedar Planked Salmon

Directions

1. 1
   Leave salmon whole or cut into serving size portions.
2. 2
   Sprinkle salmon filet with brown sugar or real maple syrup. Season to taste with salt, coarsely ground pepper and garlic.
3. 3
   Place filet on the grilling plank, skin down.
4. 4
   Place plank and filet on a preheated grill and close lid. Cook filet for 12-15 minutes per pound. The plank will smolder, creating smoke. That's what gives the salmon its wonderful taste. If flame occurs, douse with spray water bottle.
5. 5
   When the salmon is cooked to your liking, serve it at the table on the plank. Place on a cutting board or platter and serve by sliding a spatula between fish and skin.
