Best Salmon Ever: Planked Maple-Ginger Salmon

Cooked by Bob on the BBQ in Sunnyvale

1 cedar plank, soaked in warm water for a minimum of 2 hours, longer is better
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp olive oil
4 skin-on salmon fillets (or one large that covers plank - we used coho)
2 lemons, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp salt
freshly cracked pepper to taste

combine vinegar, syrup, ginger and oil; brush 1/2 of mixture over salmon

preheat grille to high; place soaked plank on grill, and get it good and hot (recipe says until it starts to smoke); flip plank over and lay lemon slices over the toasted side; place salmon, skin side down, on the lemon slices.  sprinkle with salt & pepper.

cook, lid closed, 5 minutes; brush on remaining maple mixture, and (optional) cover with more lemon slices.

close lid and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes, until salmon flakes slightly when presssed
