Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon
Salmon is slowly becoming one of my favorite seafood dishes to make for a weeknight meal. It’s healthy, fills you up without leaving you feeling “stuffed”, and can be prepared a variety of ways. I most commonly bake salmon but have also tried my hand at grilling salmon. The recipe I want to share with you today calls for baked salmon, but only after it’s been marinated and absorbs some lovely flavors. The recipe is for Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon. I’m not a big fan on bourbon in general, and if you aren’t either, don’t let that deter you from trying this dish. Bourbon is in the marinade, but you can’t taste the alcohol because it’s complemented with other seasonings and spices. The marinade creates this lovely crust while baking that is both sweet and savory, and the salmon is cooked to perfection making it super flakey and moist. … Continue reading

Cedar Plank Lemon Pepper Salmon
Have you ever used a wooden board to grill? These so called “planks” are wooden board that are soaked in water and set over direct heat on a grill and used as a means of cooking food. It’s known as plank grilling or planking. Planking is a fun way to grill! The planks get a slight char to them that creates just a hint of smokey flavor that enhances the food. I typically buy the cedar plank because I like the taste the plank gives off, and also enjoy the smell. Cedar planks are the most common, but you can also buy cherry, hickory, maple, and more. You can grill fish, protein, or vegetables on planks. Fish tends to be the most common and is a great form of grilling fish because it doesn’t stick to the grates. Salmon is my favorite fish to cook on a cedar plank. If … Continue reading

Teriyaki Glazed Baked Salmon is the perfect dinner for any night of the week. It’s flaky, juicy, and packed with flavor. You will be completely satisfied after this meal! It comes together fairly quick as well so you can even make this when short on time. The recipe can be found here. Start by making the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, garlic, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Place the salmon in a large Ziploc bag.

Plank Grilled Salmon
I have a secret to share. Andrew and I both love fish but have never made it at home before. Can you believe it? Well, we were feeling ambitious last night and decided to try making grilled salmon. Turns out it was super simple to make! A friend recommended we use a grilling plank because it gives the fish great flavor so we bought Fire & Flavor Cedar Wood Grilling Planks. You can find these by the meat counter at Festival Foods. They are sold in a pack of 2 and you can use each one about 2-3 times before throwing away so you get a few meals out of them. They are perfect for cooking beef, pork, chicken, salmon, and other seafood so you aren’t limited to any one item. The tricky part is planning ahead. You need to soak the plank in water for about 1-2 hours before … Continue reading
