Cedar planked Salmon

I love to cook however I am a terrible baker unlike my mom and cousin Carrie, but cooking is something that I have been somewhat gifted at. Maybe it's not really a gift, but just the fact that you don't have to measure in cooking :-) But last weekend in Silverdale, it was 90 degrees for 2 days. I thought that maybe I was in heaven seeing as it hasn't been sunny and over 70 since we moved up here. So due to the warm weather, we wanted to fire up the grill. One of my most favorite things to eat is fish, however it is one of the food items that I only know how to make two ways, on the BBQ or in a pan (the recipe that Jenni tought me with Tilapia, shallots and butter!) My all time favorite fish recipe is one that my friend Cate taught me one of the summers I was nannying for her. Cedar Plank Salmon with real maple syrup and soy sauce. It literally tastes like candy and not to mention it's a really easy recipe:

Soak Cedar plank for 2-4 hours in water (so it doesn't burn on the grill)
1 lb of salmon (copper river is really good!)
3/4 cup of REAL maple syrup
1/3 cup of Soy sauce
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/2 tsp. of fresh pepper
whisk all ingredients in a bowl.

Place the Salmon on the plank, use a brush and brush on the liquid. Place plank with fish on a hot grill for about 20-25 minutes depending on how big your piece of fish is. Continue to brush on more of the liquid while it's cooking. Pull off grill when finished and you can keep the fish on the plank and serve as is!
Here is a picture of the rest of our meal, I also grilled some vegetables and made a yummy salad, I was trying to make a meal that wouldn't add to the heat we were having!
