This recipe was quite easy and very yummy. I wish some of the flavors could have soaked in more, but I'm not sure if marinating it for longer would have done much. It had a very light flavor that was not at all fishy, and I think the green onion definitely added something. We cooked it on a cedar plank, I don't know if that would have changed much, but I think it turned out just fine. We accompanied it with some grilled asparagus, and I think they made a good pair. I would definitely make this again!

If you can get your hands on a filleted side of salmon, this is the recipe to choose. After a quick dip in a soy marinade rounded out with honey, ginger, and lemon, the salmon is grilled over indirect heat. Keeping it on a plank is one way to ensure that this large cut of fish stays extra-moist.
