Grilling Plank Salmon with Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze

Directions

1. Fill a large basin or a sink with water deep enough to submerge the grilling planks. Place the planks in the water and soak for 2 hours or more. Weigh the planks down to keep from floating, if necessary. 
2. Heat the olive oil in a small sauce pot over medium heat and add the shallots. Saute just until softened then add the mustard and brown sugar and cook while stirring until it starts to bubble and brown sugar is melted. 
3. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. Preheat an outdoor grill turning the outer burners to medium/high and inner burners to medium/low. Close the cover and allow it to reach 375–400°. 
4. Remove the grilling planks from the water and lightly dry off with a towel. Place salmon fillets on the planks side down then brush the salmon with the glaze. 
5. Using a large bbq spatula, place the planks with salmon on the grates in the middle of the grill to cook over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook just until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 15–20 minutes. 
6. Turn off the burners and carefully remove the planks off the grill using the bbq spatula. Place the planks on a serving platter and rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite bbq sides.
