Answer

Find ${\bf n}\times{\bf v} $ (or ${\bf v}\times{\bf n} $).

Work Step by Step

The vector ${\bf n}\times{\bf v} $ is perpendicular to both ${\bf n}$ and ${\bf v}$. One condition is obviously satisfied (perpendicular to ${\bf v}$). Being perpendicular to a vector that is perpendicular to the plane, the vector ${\bf n}\times{\bf v} $ lies in a plane parallel to our plane. Thus, the second condition is also satisfied.
