Sweet Spicy Maple Plank Salmon

by Blu Seafood

• 1 lb skinned salmon fillet
• 1 cedar plank
• 1/2 cup chopped shallots
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 cup bbq sauce (mesquite or smoky flavour preferred)
• 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp brown sugar

• Stir together all sauce ingredients. Pour over salmon fillet, cover with plastic wrap and marinate overnight.
• The next day, soak the cedar plank in water for 2-4 hours. Heat grill. Place marinated salmon onto plank and pour half of the marinade onto the salmon.
• Put the plank directly on the heated grill. Close the lid and cook as slowly as possible (roughly 25-30 minutes).
• Pour the marinade over salmon halfway through cooking.

Tip: Keep a spray bottle nearby to diffuse flames while cooking.
