Ingredients
- Grape seed or peanut oil
- 2 jalapeños, cut into rings
- 1 small Vidalia onion
- 3 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Riesling wine
- 3 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 1 cup mango (or guava) preserves/compote
- 4 Salmon filets, boned (6-oz filets)
- 4 alder or cedar planks
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (3-inch) fresh rosemary sprigs
Plowboy’s Fin & Feather
Directions
Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté the jalapeños and onion until caramelized. Once the garlic is soft, deglaze the pan with the Riesling. Then, stir in the mustard and mango preserves, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Refrigerate the sauce until completely cooled.
Soak the Cedar Smoking Planks in water for 3 hours. Meanwhile, preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Grill to 450°F. Once the planks are soaked and the grill is preheated, place the salmon fillets skin side down on the planks. Season the salmon with Plowboy’s Fin & Feather seasoning. Place a rosemary sprig on each fillet, and generously coat the salmon with the mango mixture.
Position the plank on the grill directly over the heat source. Once the plank begins to smoke, carefully move it to an area of indirect heat to finish cooking.
Monitor the salmon's internal temperature using a digital thermometer, aiming for a reading of 140°F for optimal doneness. When the salmon reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill.
Allow the salmon to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Mango-Jalapeño Cedar Planked Salmon!
