Planked Salmon

== Description ==
This recipe works for either a Salmon fillet or steak. Grilling the Salmon on a cedar plank gives it a rich, smoky flavour.
== Ingredients ==
* cedar plank, untreated and preferably made specifically for cooking purposes
* spray-bottle filled with water
* 4 salmon individual filets or steaks, preferably wild-caught as opposed to farmed
* lemon juice, fresh, 1 tablespoon
* maple syrup, 2 teaspoons
* grapeseed oil (or other light-flavoured oil), 2 tablespoons
* chipotle pepper, ½ teaspoon crushed dried chipotle pepper (a small amount of a chiptole-flavoured barbeque sauce can be substituted)
* rosemary, dried, ½ teaspoon crushed
* kosher salt
=== Garnish ===
* scallions, 2 thinly sliced for garnish
* lemon juice, fresh, 2 tablespoons
* chipotle pepper, ½ teaspoon crushed dried chipotle pepper (a small amount of a chiptole-flavoured barbeque sauce can be substituted)
== Directions ==
# Soak plank completely immersed in water for several hours, or overnight.
# Mix the lemon juice, maple syrup, chipotle and rosemary and oil in a small bowl.
# Cover the salmon with the mixture and let it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
# Thinly slice the scallions.
# As per the serving suggestion outlined in the "ingredients" mix the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the chiptole in a small bowl.
# Meanwhile prepare your barbeque at medium-high heat.
# Place the plank on the centre of the barbeque and sprinkle the plank lightly with kosher salt.
# Close the barbeque lid for a couple of minutes so top of plank dries slightly.
# Place the salmon in the centre of the plank, leaving at least one-inch between the fish and the edge of the plank.
# Reduce heat to low.
# Close barbeque lid and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until desired doneness.
# Use spray bottle to quench any fire on the edge of the plank.
# When cooked, put on serving platter and garnish with scallions.
# Serve with the lemon juice / chipotle mixture as an optional garnish.
