Cottage-country Cedar Salmon
by RKG1
Planking salmon is simple: just buy an untreated plank (sold at most supermarkets) and soak it for at least an hour before grilling. The end result is a wonderfully moist, delicately smoked salmon.

INGREDIENTS
- Cedar pieces ; wrapped in foil
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne
- Salmon fillet ; 6 oz. and 1in. thick
INSTRUCTIONS
Wrap cedar pieces in foil. Light one side of the BBQ and place the cedar directly on the coals, leave the other side off. Heat barbecue to high and once the cedar pieces begin to smoke turn the heat down. Maintain temp. at approximately 350?.
Stir soy with maple syrup and cayenne while BBQ is heating.
Place salmon, skin side down, on grill on the cold side of BBQ, NOT over the heat.
Evenly brush tops and sides of salmon with maple mixture repeat every 20 minutes or so to keep salmon moist.
Cooking and smoking the salmon may take up to an hour or more so don''t waste the heat bake a couple potatoes at the same time.
NOTES
The original recipe called for a cedar plank. Not having one and my other hobby being woodworking I had lots of cedar pieces laying around, so I smoked it. Since my wife is not a fan of spicy food I cut the cayenne in half. This takes a while to cook but tastes great, well worth the investment in time.
