Cedar Planked Maple Salmon

Ingredients

•  1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup canola oil

Directions

1. Start by making a marinade with the soy sauce, maple syrup, vegetable oil, water, and dijon mustard and whsik well until smooth. Place a fresh filet of sockeye salmon into the marinade skin side up making sure to rub all over. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4-6 hours.
2. In the meantime, prepare the cedar plank. I like to be fancy and  soak it in beer, but it can also be soaked in water - cover it completely and leave it to soak for at least four hours or longer. 
3. When the plank has soaked, remove it from the liquid to a paper towel lined board and gently pat dry. Brush both sides of the plank with extra virgin olive oil and a little sea salt.
4. Place the salmon skin side down onto the oiled plank. Sprinkle liberally with course black pepper and place plank on a pre-heated 300 degree grill; close the lid and cook until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork - about 20 - 25 minutes.
