Salmon on the gas grill. I set one side to high and the other to low. First I seared the salmon on the high heat and then switched it to a cedar plank that was on the low-heat side and put a smoke box full of alder on as well. It cooked for about 20 more minutes on the cedar plank and I occasionally basted it with a mixture of: melted butter, grade B maple syrup & a pinch or two of cayenne. Boy this tasted great.



I shut the grill down after I took off the salmon, but the cedar plank still caught fire from all the salmon fat that had cooked out onto the wood. I'm glad I heard the wood crackling so I could go out and quickly extinguish the fire, otherwise the back side of my house might currently be ablaze.
