Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat a gas grill to high; adjust to medium low after 15 minutes. (If cooking over charcoal, allow the coals to burn until
they are covered with white ash.)

Place the salmon skin-side down on the cedar plank.

Combine the brown sugar, oil, thyme, and cayenne in a bowl. Spread over the salmon.

Place the planked salmon on the grilling grate and cook, with grill covered, about 40 minutes or just until the surface fat
begins to turn white.
