1 T honey

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 T softened butter

1 cedar plank (soaked in water for 1 - 12 hours)

Rub one side of cedar plank with olive oil and sprinkle with Kosher salt.

In a small bowl, mix garlic, honey and butter.

Thinly slice limes and set on oiled side of plank. Place salmon fillet (skin side down) on top of the limes.

Spread butter over fish and add salt and pepper to taste. 

Grill at 350 F for 15 - 25 minutes, until salmon flakes in larger pieces. Keep lid closed as much as possible (use indirect heat, to preserve plank for future use.) Be prepared for flare-ups and have a spray bottle of water handy)
