Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Salmon fillet (skin-on)
- 1 piece Cedar grilling plank
- 0.5 cup Captain Morgan R Lime rum
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 slices Fresh lime slices (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by soaking the cedar grilling plank in water for at least 2 hours. This prevents the wood from catching fire during grilling.
In a small saucepan, combine Captain Morgan R Lime rum, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Heat over medium heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced and syrupy.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F).
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and rub it with olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper (if desired).
Place the cedar plank on the hot grill for about 2-3 minutes, then flip it over. This step preheats the plank and enhances its smoky flavor.
Lay the salmon fillet skin-side down on the hot side of the cedar plank.
Brush the Captain Morgan R Lime glaze generously over the salmon. Reserve some glaze for additional brushing during cooking.
Close the grill lid and cook the salmon for 15-20 minutes, depending on its thickness. Brush with more glaze halfway through cooking for added flavor.
The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Remove the salmon (along with the plank) from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with lime slices and fresh parsley, if desired, before serving. Serve warm.
