Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cedar plank for cooking (available at Whole Foods)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons soy sauce
Juice of 1 large lime
1 1/2-pound salmon filet
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup canned light coconut milk
1 cup jasmine rice
Salt to taste

Steps:

1 Soak the plank in water for 4 hours. Put it on a baking sheet.
2 Preheat oven to 500°F.
3 In a bowl, combine the syrup, mustard, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add the fish; let it marinate for 10 minutes.
4 In a saucepan, bring the broth and coconut milk to a boil.
5 Stir in the rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 20 minutes.
6 Lay the fish on the plank, skin side down. Sprinkle it with salt; drizzle it with marinade.
