1 large piece salmon fillet, skin in tact
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 bunch fresh chives
3 mini sweet peppers, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tamari or Bragg liquid aminos
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
several pinches salt
1 dash ground ginger
1 dash chili powder
1 dash cardamom
1 dash onion powder
1 dash cumin
1 cedar plank

1
Before you grill, submerse your cedar plank completely in water, soaking for at least thirty minutes.
2
If using a simple charcoal grill, preheat the coals before preparing the salmon. If using a gas grill, you'll want your grill to be preheated between 350-400F.
3
Rinse salmon and pat dry. Rub all over with grapeseed oil. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
4
Lay whole chives across the top of the salmon in a criss-cross pattern.
5
Sprinkle all seasonings (ground ginger, chili powder, onion powder, cardamom and cumin) over fish and chives.
6
Carefully cover with mini sweet peppers and then the minced garlic. Douse the top of the peppers/garlic with the tamari/Braggs/soy sauce.
7
Carefully place salmon, skin side down, on the soaked cedar plank.
8
Grill salmon, covered, until tender and easily flaking with a fork.
