Method
 

Prepare the Cedar Plank
  1. Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour before grilling.
Make the Marinade
  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
Marinate the Salmon
  1. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat the Grill
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Grill the Salmon

Serve
