By mschweickert

Ingredients

• 1 2-pound salmon fillet, skin on
• 1 cedar plank, soaked in water 20 minutes
• 1/2 cup  brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons  canola oil
• 1 tablespoon  dried thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon  cayenne pepper

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.
