“So it turned out that power was the quality of knowing what you liked. An odd thing for power to be.”

-Eve Babitz

A recipe for when you're short on time and long on fish.

Assemble

• Some quantity of salmon, filleted.
• Cedar plank or planks sufficient for your quantity of salmon
• Dijon mustard
• Brown sugar

Create

1. Soak the cedar plank(s) for at least half an hour. Preheat an oven to 375°F or light off a coal grill.Doing both of these would be redundant, but not harmful.

2. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, onto the cedar planks.

3. Brush the skin-side-down-on-cedar-plank salmon fillets with the mustard.

4. Lightly sprinkle the mustard-brushed-skin-side-down-on-cedar-plank salmon fillets with brown sugar.

5. Roast lightly-brown-sugar-sprinkled-mustard-brushed-skin-side-down-on-cedar-plank salmon in oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or cook similarly over hot coals.
