Maple Glazed Salmon

This is a staple at our house. I have been making this for years.  I have not really adjusted the recipe much from when I first started making it.  This is another tasty treat that I got from a grocery store cooking class (a nod to the Sobeys in Long Pond, Newfoundland).  It is super easy, yummy, can be made in the oven or on the grill. When I do it on the grill, I either put it on some foil so that it does not burn or I will put it on some cedar planks.  A couple of notes on the cedar planks:

·         Soak them for a few hours first otherwise they will really burn (as wood does over open fire),

·         You can buy them specially packaged at the grocery store OR if you have a handy saw go to the closeest lumber yard and pick up a length of un-treated cedar board and cut it to the length you need.  WAY cheaper! Sometimes you can even go to the cast off bin for even cheaper.
