Ingredients
- •Apple Juice, Water, Or White Wine (For Soaking The Planks)
- •Salmon
- •¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- •¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- •Honey(30g)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(15g)
- •Mustard, Dijon(8g)
Dijon mustard — Grey Poupon or store brand. Spicier than yellow mustard.
- •Garlic(5g)
- •Cayenne Pepper, Ground
Instructions
- 1At least 2 hours before cooking, soak the planks in apple juice (or water or wine). I use rimmed baking sheets. Drain.
- 2Remove the skin from the salmon fillets (if it is not removed already). Pat dry and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, and cayenne.
- 3Place the salmon on what (was) skin-side down on a plate. Brush all over the top and sides with the honey mixture.
- 4Preheat the grill to medium-high (375° to 400° F). Place the planks on the grill and let cook for 4 minutes. Flip the planks over (they should have nice char marks), place the salmon on top, then close the grill. Cook until the salmon reaches 135° F on an instant read thermometer, about 7 to 12 minutes depending upon your grill and the thickness of your fillets.
- 5Check on it every few minutes and if the edges of the plank catches fire, mist with water. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Cover and let rest 5 minutes, then serve. Discard planks after use.
