2 teaspoons lemon pepper
1 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 teaspoon dried basil
1 Tablespoon paprika
1 Tablespoon Kosher salt, (I don't use all of this salt, only about 1/2 of a T)

2. Refrigerate the salmon, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.

3. Place the salmon pieces in the center of the cedar BBQ grilling plank. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon. Place the plank on a grill. If using a charcoal grill, wait until coals are covered with gray ash. If using a gas grill, preheat on high then turn down to medium before placing the planks on the grill. Cover with the lid.

4. There will be some crackling and heavy smoke. Keep a water bottle handy in case the planks begin to flame. If they do, sprinkle lightly and cover again. Salmon should take 8 -10 minutes to cook, depending on the thickness of the salmon and the heat of the grill. Remove when the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 120-125 degrees. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
