Grilled Cedar-Planked Salmon image

Planking is a rather new experience for us. I prepare the food and DH does the rest. This recipe is adapted from kraftfoods.com and is so simple to make. The original recipe called for parsley which I didn't have. I used fresh garden basil and loved it. Serve with rice, fresh bread and a salad for a lovely meal that is sure to impress. Please note: The cooking or prep time does not include the time needed to soak the cedar plank.

This was my first time cooking salmon on a cedar plank and it turned out amazing! The fish was moist and flaky, and the glaze was flavorful without being overpowering. I'll definitely be making this again.
