West Coast Cedar Plank Salmon

1 salmon fillet, about 1 to 2 pounds
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Tablespoon chopped basil
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon fresh black pepper

You'll need a piece of cedar plank slightly larger than the laid out size of the fish you wish to cook. Soak the board for several hours in cool water. It's good to put  something heavy on it to be sure all of the wood is submerged and soaked. 
Oven treatment: Combine all ingredients except the salmon. Marinate the salmon for several hours in this mixture. Preheat  the oven to 450 degrees and place the soaked plank in the oven for about 5 minutes. Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on the plank and bake until cooked, about 10 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Grill treatment: The same as with the oven but be careful to adjust the heat of the grill so the board does not ignite.
