Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper. Combine cumin, turmeric, saffron and cayenne and sprinkle evenly over fillets. Squeeze cut lime over fillets and drizzle with a little olive oil. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat grill. Rinse plank and place on cooking grate. Cover grill and heat plank for 4 - 5 minutes, or until it starts to throw off a bit of smoke and crackles lightly. Reduce heat to medium low.
