Maple Planked Wild BC Salmon

1 side wild BC salmon

4 Tbsp pure maple syrup

2 Tbsp light soy sauce

1 Tbsp sea salt

2 Tbsp freshly cracked pepper

Soak the maple plank in water for 1 to 2 hours.

Remove the pin bones from the wild BC salmon fillet and season with the salt and pepper.

Mix the maple syrup and soy sauce and pour into a long shallow dish large enough to hold the side of salmon. Place the fish skin side up with the exposed seasoned flesh sitting in the maple mixture. Let the fish cure for 20 to 30 minutes in the dish.

Remove the fish and place skin side down on to the maple plank. Pour the remaining liquid over the fish and place on a hot BBQ grill and cook covered for 20 minutes or until the fish is slightly under cooked. Remove from the heat and serve with beet and watercress salad.

2 cups red beets, cooked and peeled

2 cups yellow beets, cooked and peeled

2 cups watercress, washed and picked

3 Tbsp hazelnut oil

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp maple syrup

Salt and pepper to taste
