CEDAR PLANKED SALMON WITH HOISIN MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Cedar Plank: Take an untreated cedar plank, about 16x8 inches, weighted down and soaked in water for at least an hour, preferably longer.

• Plank: Make sure that the plank has soaked for at least 1 hour and up to 24.
• Glaze: Combine the whiskey and maple syrup in a small saucepan, bringing the mixture to a low boil and reduce by about half. You should have a thick syrup that coats the back of a spoon. Add chilies and butter and stir until just combined. Set aside and keep warm.
