Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or seeking a flavorful weeknight dinner, this recipe delivers a gourmet experience with minimal effort. The cedar plank not only imparts a subtle smokiness but also ensures the salmon remains moist and tender.
Ingredients
-
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
-
2 jalapeños, sliced into rings
-
1 small Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
-
3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup Riesling wine
-
3 tablespoons Kozlik's Triple Crunch Mustard
-
1 cup mango (or guava) preserves or compote
-
2 teaspoons Jacobsen Pure Italian Fine Sea Salt
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
4 fresh rosemary sprigs (3-inch each)
-
Plowboy’s Fin & Feather Rub
-
Grapeseed or peanut oil for sautéing
-
4 cedar planks, soaked in water for at least 3 hours
Directions
Prepare the Mango-Jalapeño Glaze:
- Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
- Sauté jalapeños and onion until caramelized.
- Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Deglaze the pan with Riesling wine.
- Stir in whole-grain mustard and mango preserves.
- Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
- Allow the glaze to cool completely and refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to 450°F.
- Ensure the cedar planks have been soaked for at least 3 hours to prevent burning
Assemble the Salmon:
- Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the soaked cedar planks.
- Season each fillet with sea salt, black pepper, and Plowboy’s Fin & Feather Rub.
- Place a rosemary sprig on top of each fillet.
- Generously coat each fillet with the prepared mango-jalapeño glaze
Grill the Salmon:
- Place the cedar planks with salmon directly over the heat source on the grill.
- Once the planks begin to smoke, move them to an area of indirect heat.
- Close the grill lid and cook until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 140°F (approximately 15 minutes).
Serve:
- Carefully remove the planks from the grill.
- Let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve directly on the cedar planks for a rustic presentation, if desired.
