Don't tell this guy that kiddie pools come in bigger sizes.
We grilled salmon on Saturday night. As much as I like fish in general, I'm not usually one for salmon. IT'S TOO FISHY is an obnoxious complaint, but it's truuuuuue. However, this recipe for grilled salmon turned out delicious and truly not fishy tasting. Tryyyyyy it. It even involves wine. Done deal.
Grilled Glazed Salmon
2 cedar grilling planks (got ours at Home Depot- $3 for a 4 pack)
1/2 bottle white wine
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp orange juice
2 tsp minced fresh thyme
2 tbsp olive oil
4 5-7 oz fresh salmon fillets (we had one large piece that we just cut ourselves)- I should add that we bought ours at Wal Mart. Not fancy at all, and seriously it still turned out great.
Salt and pepper to taste
At least one hour ahead of grill time, soak planks in wine. This will prevent the planks from becoming tinder and burning up. The wine flavors will infuse into the salmon.
Whisk together mustard, hone, vinegar, orange juice, and thyme. Place the planks on a hot grill (~400 degrees). Preheat planks for about 3 minutes. Flip the planks, brush with olive oil, and place 2 fillets on each plank. Season with salt and pepper and brush with the honey mustard glaze. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 145 degrees.
Remove from heat and serve. I made a side dish zucchini noodles sauteed in a bit of olive oil, with added goat cheese and toasted walnuts. So good!
Have at it- a lighter way of grilling. And I swear it's not too fishy.
