Instructions

1. 1
   Use water, wine or cider to soak the cedar plank for about 60 minutes before grilling. The plank must be fully submerged under water, so place a heavy object on top of the plank, if necessary.
2. 2
   Preheat grill to medium. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste and place them on a cedar plank.
3. 3
   Whisk maple syrup and mustard until combined, and brush about half the mixture over the salmon.
4. 4
   Place the cedar plank with salmon fillets on the grill. Start checking for doneness at about 10 minutes and about halfway through cooking, brush with the remaining maple/mustard mixture.
5. 5
   While the salmon cooks, cut the woody ends off the asparagus and discard. Coat the stalks with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Place directly on the grill, cover and allow to cook for 5 minutes, until soft and slightly charred.
6. 6
   Serve salmon and asparagus immediately.
