Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  
In a saucepan, combine the wine, lemon juice, peppercorns, bay leaf and  
thyme. Bring the liquid to a boil and reduce by half, about 2 to 3 minutes.  
Add the cream and bring the liquid back to a boil and reduce by half, about  
2
to 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter, a cube at a time, until all the butter  
is incorporated. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Strain the sauce  
through a fine mesh strainer and keep warm.  
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the zest for 1 minute.  
Remove the zest from the water and shock in an ice bath. Remove the zest  
from the ice bath and pat dry. In a small saute pan, over medium heat,  
render the Capicola ham until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the  
heat and turn into a mixing bowl. Add the blanched zest, bread crumbs and 1  
tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with Creole seasoning. Mix well. Season  
the fillets with Creole seasoning. Rub the top of each cedar plank with  
olive oil. Place each fillet on a plank. Sprinkle the crust over each  
fillet. Place the planks on a sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake the  
fillets for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the fish is  
flaky. Serve the planks with a drizzle of lemon butter sauce and Hilda's Maw  
Maw Slaw.
