Bourbon Glazed Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon

I'm not much of a fish eater. Every now and again I will eat Salmon. I always make sure to have some kind of a glaze on it and grill it on my BBQ outside. But, the day I made this recipe, the winds were howling outside. There went my grilling outside option.
So, I did my research and was assured that I could cook my Salmon in my oven on the Cedar Plank. If you have never cooked fish on a wood plank, you really need to try it.
Here is the link to the recipe that I used: https://livelytable.com/grilled-bourbon-glazed-cedar-plank-salmon/ This recipe is really straight forward and easy to make. Cook time on this is about 25 minutes. Seriously, who doesn't like that.
This is such a sweet tasting recipe and you can pair it with green beans, asparagus, squash, broccoli or rice. I have to admit, cooking it in my oven was not my first choice but, I have to say that it worked out great!
Bourbon Glazed Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon
Recipe details
Ingredients
- 1 cedar plank
- ¼ cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 1 lb salmon filet, skin removed
- Sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Soak the cedar plank in warm water for 15 minutes. If your salmon has skin, remove it now.
- Meanwhile, add the bourbon, soy sauce, honey and garlic to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced by about half (about 10-15 minutes), stirring every once in a while. Discard the garlic.
- Heat the grill to medium high heat (about 400°F to 450°F).
- Place the salmon skin side down on the cedar plank. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon a generous amount of the bourbon sauce over the top of the salmon.
- Place cedar plank with the salmon on the grill. Grill to your preferred doneness, spooning more sauce over the top once or twice during grilling. An internal temperature of 120°F with a 5 minute rest will give you a perfect medium rare.
- Remove the fish from the grill and rest 5 minutes before serving.
