Place the salmon on the side you removed the skin  on the cedar plank, and  spread 1/2 the blueberry sauce over the top and sides.

Set your grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high.

You will need to place the cedar plank with salmon on it, in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat.
