Easy Cedar-Plank Salmon
- 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)
- Cut a cedar plank to fit your barbeque grill.
- You won't be saving this, so no need to be fancy.
- (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.
- Put the salmon"skin-side" down on the wet plank.
- (Remember that anything hanging off the side of the board will burn, so try to maneuver the salmon all onto the board.) Salt and pepper to taste.
- If you have a favorite herb or spice, you might want to add a sprinkle now.
- Pat a thickish coating of brown sugar evenly over the top of the salmon.
- We like our salmon well-glazed, so we pat about a 1/4" layer onto the fish.
- Dot with little chunks of the butter, use more or less to your taste.
- Grill (on a rack) above medium hot coals until the fish is firm in the center.
- To serve, just pop the plank onto a platter and cut pieces off the salmon at the table.
