Ingredients:

  • 2 six ounces salmon fillets, preferably with skin on
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cognac, bourbon, or whiskey, optional
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cedar plank

Directions:

Soak the cedar plank for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

Combine maple syrup, cognac, soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger, and garlic in a large zip-lock plastic bag. Add salmon fillets, seal bag and marinate in fridge for 30 minutes, turning the bag once. Remove fillets from bag and set aside the marinade.

Preheat grill to high heat.

When the grill is hot, place the salmon, skin side down, on the wet cedar plank and place it on the grill. Close the lid and grill for 15 minutes. Remove and serve directly from the burnt cedar board.

In the meantime, bring the rest of the marinade to a boil in a small saucepan on medium high heat on top of stove. Simmer for 3 minutes and serve along side the fish.

Serves 2.
