- Rinse the salmon under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Prepare grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high.
- Combine orange juice, orange zest, rosemary and plum wine in a small sauce pan.
- Place over medium high heat and reduce by ½ to create a light glaze.
- Place salmon fillet on top of a lightly oiled cedar plank.
- Brush the fillet with the orange plum wine glaze
- Place the cedar plank in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat.
- Close grill lid and cook for about 15 minutes then take a knife and make a couple of cuts on the fillet
- (while still on the plank) and separate slightly to expose the meat to the grilling heat.
- Brush on some more of the glaze mixture
- Total cooking time is approximately 30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillet),

- When ready transfer the salmon and plank to a platter and serve off the plank.
