Cedar Planked Salmon With Asian Barbecue Glaze

Soak a cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour.

In a small heavy saucepan, simmer barbecue sauce, brown sugar, ginger, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until reduced to about 1 cup, about 20 minutes. Let cool (Asian glaze may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before proceeding).

Preheat a gas grill to high, then adjust to medium low after 15 minutes (If cooking over charcoal, allow the coals to burn until they are covered with white ash).

Place the salmon skin-side down on the cedar plank. Spread the Asian glaze over the salmon.

Place the planked salmon on the grilling grate and cook, with grill covered, about 30-40 minutes or just until the surface fat begins to turn white.
