Per 6 oz 1 salmon fillet
Prep Time: 2.5 Hours
Cook Time: 15 minutes
1 large bottle of dry white wine
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice and zest from 1 lemon
Oregano to taste
Thyme to taste
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Soak the Plank Place the wooden plank in a baking dish, pour over enough white wine to cover it, and weigh it down with a heavy saucepan to ensure it stays submerged. Be sure to reserve ½ cup of wine for your basting liquid. Let it soak for at least 2 hours. Tip: You can use water instead of wine to soak your plank.
Make the Basting Liquid In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of white wine, honey, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Preheat the Grill Heat your grill to high. Let it fully heat before placing the salmon on.
Prepare the Salmon Place the salmon, skin-side down, on the soaked plank. Sprinkle it with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Set the plank on the grill, brush the salmon generously with the basting liquid, and close the lid.
Grill & Baste Grill for a few minutes, then open the lid to baste the salmon again. Close the lid to continue cooking, basting every few minutes, for about 15 minutes total or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Check the thickest part with a thermometer to ensure it is cooked.
Rest & Serve Carefully transfer to a heat-safe plate or surface. Let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve with your favourite fresh salad or grilled veggies
Pairs beautifully with the Briarwood Zero-Proof Cocktail
