Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
2 jalapenos, cut into rings
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 cup apricot preserves

Directions

4 (4 by 4-inch) pieces parchment paper

4 cedar plank pieces, food service quality
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skinned and boned
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (3-inch) fresh rosemary sprigs
1 lemon, zested

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small saute pan over medium heat, heat oil. When hot, add jalapenos and saute until caramelized. Add garlic, and before it begins to brown, deglaze with white wine. Next add mustard and apricot preserves and bring to a simmer. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes and let completely cool.

Place parchment paper on planks, add salmon, lightly salt and pepper, place a rosemary sprig on each fillet, and liberally apply cooled apricot mixture.

Place cedar plank on gas burner. When plank has begun to smoke, place into preheated oven.

Cook salmon until medium-rare; remove from oven and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes until serving. Garnish with lemon zest.

Perfect balance
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe has a perfect balance of smoky, sweet, savory and a bit of kick. I did make a few adjustments: First - I... diced the jalapenos, I felt cutting them into rings would detract from the presentation Second - I used a charcoal grill to cook the salmon...I am a big fan of charcoal cooking, and decided to do it that way instead of gas. I removed all of the seeds from the jalapenos, the kick was very mild, I prefer to go light on the heat and scale it up as I get used to the recipe. This recipe was outstanding - Highly Recommended.

He asked for more!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Knowing the helath benefits of salmon,I have tried many recipes searching for something that my husband would actually LIKE,... and not just eat it to get it over with. He enjoyed this so much he said he actually wanted more and it was the best salmon recipe he's had. That is really saying something for him. I have to agree. I had a hard time even telling this was fish, tasted more like chicken. The jalapenos added just enough of a smoky bite to really make it memorable. I will definitely be making this again.Read more

Sweet, Hot, Sensational!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cooked Guy's recipe for a friend while my husband was out of town and we both raved!! I've made lots of cedar-planked... salmon recipes in the past, but this turned out incredibly moist and flavorful. The sauce is to die for! I made it again for my husband when he got home, and he loved it, too. I made it again last weekend for company and they went nuts! I had some sauce left over, so I put it on chicken and baked it and that turned out great, too. Thanks, Guy!Read more

Has a kick to it that is fabulous!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this recipe. The jalepenos were my favorite part about the taste of this recipe. After every bite, there was just a... slight kick of spice at the end that made the salmon even more tastier. I recommend however, to place the cedar plank on the bbq! The salmon was delicious and the taste of the plank was yummy. I bought a small jar of Apricot Reserves, however I should have used more to make it more of a glaze, but it was enough and this recipe is a keeper!Read more

A bit of Sweet & Spicy Heaven!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not a salmon fan but my husband and son love it so I'm always on the lookout for "keeper" salmon recipes. This one is... now at the top of our list. Even my picky 8 year old daughter liked it! Of course we grilled it (we never turn the oven on in the summer) and didn't use the cedar planks but it was phenomenal! I seeded the jalapenos, and used a sweet and spicy mustard because that's what I had on hand. I can't wait to pass this one on to my friends!Read more
