Directions
Meanwhile, combine maple syrup, vinegar, whisky, smoked paprika, soy sauce and 1½ tsp. garlic pepper in a small saucepan. Gently boil, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until reduced to ¾ cup, whisking constantly.
Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Brush salmon with ¼ cup syrup mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (400 degrees). Place soaked plank on hot grill for 2 to 4 minutes or until lightly smoking and charred, turn once.
Place salmon, skin side down, on cedar plank. Grill for 8 minutes; brush with ¼ cup syrup mixture. Grill for 5 to 10 minutes more or until salmon flakes easily with a fork (145 degrees.) If necessary, use a spray bottle filled with water to put out flare-ups.
Remove plank with salmon from grill. Garnish with green onions and grilled lemon slices, if desired. Serve with remaining syrup mixture and additional garlic pepper.
