Cooking the fish on a cedar plank adds a delicious smoky-sweet flavor and the mustard-honey glaze keeps it moist and flavorful. It pairs wonderfully with our Pinot Noir.
4 each 5 oz filets of salmon, skin and pin bones removed
1/4 cup whole grain mustard
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp shallots, finely diced
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
extra-virgin olive oil
spray bottle with water
2 cedar planks, soaked in water for 2-6 hours
Procedure
1Preheat a grill. Once the grill is hot, pat the planks dry and brush them with a light coating of olive oil. Place the planks on the grill and allow them to preheat.
2Mix the mustard, honey, and shallots together. Season the salmon with salt and pepper then brush the mustard mixture on the salmon.
3Place the filets on the hot planks and cook until the internal temperature is between 125°F and 130°F. If the planks catch on fire spray the flames with water to extinguish.
