Preparation
Light a grill. Soak cedar planks for 30 minutes in water. Once coals get a light gray ash, push them to the opposite side of the grill and set a disposable drip pan in the center. Meanwhile, mix mustards, tamari, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon zest. Drain planks, pat dry. Place salmon, skin side down, on the planks. Spread sauce over salmon. Place the planks on the grate above the drip pan, away from coals. Cover and cook salmon until just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
