Easy Cedar-plank Salmon

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 salmon fillet (de-boned, skinned, and cleaned)
• salt
• pepper
• brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small bits
• 1 cedar plank (untreated, cut to fit the grill)

Recipe

• 1 cut a cedar plank to fit your barbeque grill.
• 2 you won't be saving this, so no need to be fancy.
• 3 (we usually get a 1"-thick, 12" wide board and cut it into appropriately sized pieces.) completely submerse the cedar plank in water for 15 minutes.
• 4 put the salmon"skin-side" down on the wet plank.
• 5 (remember that anything hanging off the side of the board will burn, so try to maneuver the salmon all the board.) salt and pepper to taste.
• 6 if you have a favorite herb or spice, you might want to add a sprinkle now.
• 7 pat a thickish coating of brown sugar evenly over the top of the salmon.
• 8 we like our salmon well-glazed, so we pat about a 1/4" layer the fish.
• 9 dot with little chunks of the butter, use more or less to your taste.
• 10 grill (on a rack) above medium hot coals until the fish is firm in the center.
• 11 to serve, just pop the plank a platter and cut pieces off the salmon at the table.
