Cedar Plank Salmon with Brown Sugar & Black Pepper

I like to serve the salmon still on the cedar plank so that everyone can take chunks of the salmon and pick at it for a more rustic style dinner.

Prep the cedar plank if needed. Preheat the grill to medium-high to prepare for indirect grilling.
In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and pepper.
Place the salmon on the cedar plank skin-side down, then spread the brown sugar and black pepper mixture all over the salmon.
Place the plank in the center of the hot grill grates, away from the heat.
Cook until salmon is thoroughly just through and opaque, about 12 to 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon). The salmon is done when it easily flakes with a fork.
To serve, cut the salmon into desired portions or serve the salmon on the cedar plank.

We had this dish cooked in the oven and loved the combination of the salmon and the brown sugar and pepper flavoring.
