Cedar Plank Salmon Fillets

By popular demand, I bring to you the cedar plank salmon recipe! We usually get our planks from Whole Foods or Harris Teeter. I wish there was somewhere in DC where I could get really fresh fish -- does anyone know of a place? The best tasting fish around here in my opinion is usually from Whole Foods. 

Ingredients:

• Salmon fillets with skin on (try to find ones that are 1-2 inches thick)
• 2 tablespoons brown or Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• juice from half of a large lemon

Directions:

1. Soak the cedar planks in water for at least 1-2 hours. (You can even soak them overnight) 
2. Light your grill.  Grill should be between medium and high heat.
3. In a small mixing bowl, mix all of the ingredients other than the salmon.
4. Cover both sides of the salmon fillets with the mixture, and place the fillets on the cedar planks.
5. Place the planks on the grill, and grill covered for around 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked through.
6. Let them sit for a few minutes after you remove from the grill, and enjoy!

*We usually re-use our planks a couple of times. If you want to make this recipe even easier, you can buy pre-marinated fillets from Whole Foods ON the planks and then make your own marinade the next time you use the plank!
