Cedar Plank Salmon

Instructions

1. At least 2 hours before cooking, soak the planks in apple juice (or water or wine). I use rimmed baking sheets. Drain.
2. Remove the skin from the salmon fillets (if it is not removed already). Pat dry and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, and cayenne.
3. Place the salmon on what (was) skin-side down on a plate. Brush all over the top and sides with the honey mixture.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high (375° to 400° F). Place the planks on the grill and let cook for 4 minutes. Flip the planks over (they should have nice char marks), place the salmon on top, then close the grill. Cook until the salmon reaches 135° F on an instant read thermometer, about 7 to 12 minutes depending upon your grill and the thickness of your fillets.
5. Check on it every few minutes and if the edges of the plank catches fire, mist with water. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Cover and let rest 5 minutes, then serve. Discard planks after use.
