Grilled Cedar plank salmon

This recipe is a great recipe when you're in a pinch. It's simple, easy, and delicious. I made it for an impromptu visit from the in laws. Luckily I just finished shopping and a had a number of items on hand one of which was a large full fillet of Salmon. This recipe definitely impressed.

Software:
4 Large Salmon Fillets
4 Table Spoons of Dijon Mustard
2 Table Spoons of Brown Sugar
SnP
1 Table Spoon Olive Oil
1 Table Spoon of Lemon Juice

Hardware:
Cedar planked soaked for at least 30 minutes in clean water
BBQ Grill or oven

Start by getting your Cedar plank well soaked so it doesn't burn on the grill or in the oven. Next get your grill or oven going. Either way get the oven or grill temperature to about 350.

Next rinse your salmon in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Apply the SnP and Dijon mustard to both sides.

Once your oven or grill is ready towel try your ceder plank and apply a light coat of oil directly onto the wood to prevent the fish from sticking. Place the salmon on the Cedar skin down if you choose to leave the skin on. Now crumble the brown sugar on top on each salmon this will help it caramelize when cooking.

In about 30 minutes you should have a nice flaky crusty yummy salmon to serve to guests just sprinkle with a bit of fresh lemon juice. If you can wait about 5 -10 minutes post grilling to let the juices settle before cutting up.

I served it with some brown rice and roasted rosemary potatoes.
