Honey Garlic Cedar Planked Salmon

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

1 salmon filet cut into 6 portions
Seasoning
Sweet bbq seasoning
1 lb asparagus
Honey Garlic Sauce
6 tbsp butter
1/2 cup honey
4 tsp garlic paste
2 tsp dried dill

Instructions

Soak cedar planks in water for 30 minutes to prevent the wood from catching fire and add moisture to the fish while cooking.
Place the seasoned salmon fillet on the cedar planks, making sure to coat both sides of the fish with the sweet BBQ seasoning.
Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F to create a low and slow cooking environment for the salmon.
Smoke the salmon on the cedar planks for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the fish reaches 110°F.
While the salmon is cooking, make the honey garlic sauce by combining 6 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of honey, 4 teaspoons of garlic paste, and 2 teaspoons of dried dill in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until everything is well combined and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Once the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 110°F, brush the honey garlic sauce onto the fish. This will create a nice glaze and add more flavor to the salmon.
Continue smoking the salmon until the internal temperature reaches 125°F. This should take another 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon fillet.
While the salmon is resting, sauté 1 pound of asparagus in a pan with 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the honey garlic cedar planked salmon with the asparagus on the side for a complete and delicious meal.
