To make basting syrup, in sauce pan combine and heat one cup of maple syrup, 1 tsp granulated garlic, juice of 1/2 a small lemon.
Take plank out of water, take EVOO drizzle on planks, then add dill weed bed for scallops to be placed on. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
Place plank on grill and baste with maple syrup mixture, until scallops are no longer opaque and amber coated from syrup and smoke from cedar .
