Attached is a picture of John's salmon which he cooked when Marion and I visited in North Pole, Alaska.  He did not use the peppers on top. 

     

      1 Salmon fillet (wild caught if possible)

Tony’s Chachere’s Creole Seasoning

fresh basil, coarsely chopped

  yellow onion, chopped

green onion, chopped

yellow, red, orange bell pepper (Julian sliced)

parsley, chopped

honey

lemon slices


         Soak wood plank for about 2 hours in water.  Heat grill to a medium-high temperature.  

         Coat the plank with olive oil, and place salmon fillet on it, skin side down.  

         Coat the filet with olive oil.   Sprinkle Tony’s seasoning to taste on the fillet.  

         Add basil, yellow onion, green onion, parsley, julian sliced peppers, and lemon slices on top of the fillet.  

         Add generous amount of honey on top.  

         Grill with plank with filet on direct heat for 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees.  

         Transfer the plank and salmon to a platter and serve right off the plank.


          Note: This is also good if you use maple syrup instead of honey.
