1 bunch green onions, trimmed and sliced lengthwise
24 oz Alaskan Salmon (one 24 oz fillet side or four 6 oz portions)
3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger root* (or 1 tsp dried organic ginger)
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons naturally brewed soy sauce
1½ teaspoons fresh minced garlic (or organic garlic granules)
Add 1/4 teaspoon organic cayenne pepper for additional heat, if desired.

Steps:

Soak planks in cold, clean water for 2 hours or overnight. (If you have less than two hours, soak them in hot water to speed absorption.) Pat-dry the planks' surfaces, and oil lightly on one side. Place green onions on plank and place Salmon on top of onions. Blend remaining ingredients in a bowl. Rub 1/2 to 1 teaspoon on each Salmon portion or all onto Salmon side. Let the Salmon rest 5 minutes before cooking. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place the planked Salmon on the grill using indirect heat (not directly over heat). Reduce heat to medium and cook in covered grill for 10 to 15 minutes. Cook just until Salmon is opaque throughout.
