Prep Instructions:
- Start off by making sure all of the small bones are out of your salmon by using tweezers to pull them out. Now season with your favorite Jerk seasoning.
- I like to use the three-finger thick method, place three fingers (width) on the filet and that is how thick you want to cut your filets. Be sure to make sure you trim the belly, you do not want to keep that attached because while you are cooking that thinner section will overcook before the thicker section is done.
- Fire up your grill, I like using charcoal and place a flat top cast iron griddle on top. Add 2 tablespoons of duck fat and let it heat up to 500 degrees.
- While the griddle is coming up to temp, make the bourbon honey glaze. On a medium heat, surface add a saucepan and then add all these ingredients, bourbon, honey, soy, ginger paste, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, and jerk seasoning. Whisk together and simmer for 4-6 minutes. Set the temp on the lowest setting and let cool. Add water if it thickens too much.
Cooking Instructions:
- Now the cast iron is hot, place the salmon filets skin side down for 3-4 mins. Flip and blacken the top of the filets for 2 mins. Now sear the sides for 2 minutes each and place back on the skin. While on the skin, glaze with the honey bourbon glaze.
- Remove and serve on a bed of Asparagus or rice.
- Enjoy with family and friends!
