Cedar Planked Salmon
 
 
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 salmon filet (1 ½-2 pounds), skin removed
  • Olive oil
  • *John Henry’s Raspberry Chipotle Rub
  • *John Henry’s Summer Peach Rub
  • *Cedar grilling plank, soaked in water at least 5 hours before using
  • 1-2 Tbsp. Apricot preserves
  • 1-2 Tbsp. Peach preserves
  • 1-2 Tbsp. Pineapple preserves
Instructions
  1. FOR THE SALMON: Soak cedar-grilling plate in water at least 5 hours before using (so it won’t catch on fire when placed on the grill.)
  2. Rub a generous amount of olive oil all over the front and back of the salmon filet. Place salmon in a glass dish.
  3. Place salmon in a glass dish and generously sprinkle over salmon a 2:1 ratio of John Henry’s summer peach to raspberry chipotle rub. Make sure to use enough rub so it can caramelize on the grill. Place salmon in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to marinate.
  4. Preheat grill to 275 degrees F. Do NOT let the grill get hotter than 300 degrees F or you risk drying out the salmon.
  5. Place salmon on a cedar grilling plate and grill it for 25-30 minutes, or until done. Depending on how large your salmon filet is, the cook time may be shorter or longer.
  6. FOR THE GLAZE: 10 minutes before the salmon is ready, combine about 1-2 tablespoons each of apricot, peach and pineapple preserves in a food processor. Combine until well blended.
  7. Pour the combined preserves over salmon and continuing grilling for 10 more minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
*John Henry’s rub can be purchased at Barbeques Galore, Elliott’s Hardware or online. A cedar grilling plank can be purchased at Kroger or just about any grocery store.
